Funded Activity Summary

Integrated GPS and interferometric SAR techniques for ground subsidence monitoring. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is commonly used for measuring ground subsidence due to underground mining and similar activities. However, GPS techniques cannot easily survey a dense enough grid of points to monitor subsidence across a wide area. This project aims to densify the GPS field measurements with the interferometric processing of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. The outcomes of this research include optimal integration models, operational software systems and quality-control measures. A test area south of Sydney, where subsidence caused by underground coal mining is having significant detrimental effect on surface infrastructure, will be monitored over a three-year period.
