Interferometric synthetic aperture radar, commonly abbreviated InSAR or IfSAR, is a geodetic remote sensing technique that can be used to measure displacements and/or topography of the Earth's surface. The technique uses radar images acquired by sensors on satellites or aeroplanes, giving the technique global coverage, and allowing the study of areas that would otherwise be inaccessible. Applications include mapping the deformation of the Earth due to geological phenomena such as earthquakes, landslides, glaciers or movements of magma in volcanoes, engineering applications such as monitoring stability of land or buildings, and the generation of digital elevation models.[1] [2] [3]
