| Abstract | The region of interest is located approximately in the downstream part of the Mackenzie River, Canada. Our study focuses on guidelines to process RADARSAT-1 interferometric C-band data in a permafrost
environment and monitor permafrost activity and landslide motion over 18 month period. From the interferometric method (D-InSAR) on ?100 interferograms, the main conclusions are (1) a high resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and a shorter
satellite revisit time intervals are essential to ensure InSAR processing accuracy for small deformations associated with permafrost activity; (2) the permafrost has sustained several changes over a year of monitoring (thaw starting during end of
April-mid of May, and freezing around mid October). The deformation peak is reached in the summer time between mid of May and July (up to 15 ± 2mm). This method will provide a guideline for In SAR monitoring of similar areas in permafrost
environment. |
