Abstract
The objective of this article is to demonstrate the capability of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) to identify, monitor and assess geohazards in permafrost terrain. InSAR was investigated as a complementary tool to enhance the current mapping, surveying and geotechnical analyses. From interferometric techniques, deformation maps and Digital Surface Models have been derived in two northern locations with different permafrost types. Using both remote sensing monitoring and traditional geotechnical engineering provides two independent sources of ground surface displacement information which increases the forecast accuracy of the geotechnical conditions.
