Download or read book InSAR analysis of ground surface deformation in Cedar Valley Iron County Utah written by Kurt Katzenstein and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 43-page report presents new Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) analysis of ground water subsidence in Cedar Valley in Iron County, Utah. This analysis is based on InSAR data from the ERS-1/2 satellites from 1992 to 2000, and the Envisat satellite from 2004 to 2010. A stack of five consecutive interferograms from the 1992-2000 time period and a stack of four consecutive interferograms from the 2004-2010 time period are included in this report; however, decorrelation in the vicinity of the Enoch graben makes an estimate of total deformation impossible using the stacks. In total, surface deformation has impacted approximately 256 km² (100 mi²) in Cedar Valley. Subsidence rates in the vicinity of the Enoch graben increased from approximately 0.5-1.0 cm/yr to roughly 1-2 cm/yr after 1999. Similarly, rates in central Cedar Valley show a general increasing trend after 1999, but rates appear to be more erratic than the other two sites. The spatial distribution of deformation in Cedar Valley correlates well with both the location of observed fissuring as well as the location of both municipal and private groundwater production wells. The fissuring observed near Quichapa Lake, as well as within the Enoch graben, is likely a direct result of groundwater pumping in these areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extreme Environmental Events is an authoritative single source for understanding and applying the basic tenets of complexity and systems theory, as well as the tools and measures for analyzing complex systems, to the prediction, monitoring, and evaluation of major natural phenomena affecting life on earth. These phenomena are often highly destructive, and include earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, climate change,, and weather. Early warning, damage, and the immediate response of human populations to these phenomena are also covered from the point of view of complexity and nonlinear systems. In 61 authoritative, state-of-the art articles, world experts in each field apply such tools and concepts as fractals, cellular automata, solitons game theory, network theory, and statistical physics to an understanding of these complex geophysical phenomena.

Download or read book A Correlation based Approach to Modeling Interferometric Radar Observations of the Greenland Ice Sheet written by E. Weber Hoen and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) phase observations have greatly increased our understanding of the topography and motion of ice sheets, but yield little information on the sub-surface structure, a needed description for mass-balance estimates. Inversion of a diffuse volume scatter model shows that InSAR correlation values, p, can be related to radiowave penetration depths, d, which depend on characteristics of the snow/ice volume. Application to European Research Satellite (ERS) images (VV, 5.6 cm, 23 ̊incidence angle) of the Greenland ice sheet imply C-band d of 0 m along the rocky coast, 10-20 m in the bare ice zone, and 20-35 m in the percolation zone and dry snow zone, consistent with in situ results. Moreover, volume scattering reduces the ERS critical baseline from about 1100 m to 300 m. Correlation and backscatter power (ơ0) observations can be combined for further understanding of the snow/ice volume. In particular, p and ơ0 data of 15 km-long, 50 m-high topographic undulations in the dry snow zone arc minimum on the windward side and maximum on the lee side, with 1 to 3 dB variation typical. These spatial variations in the scattering medium appear to follow from differences in snow accumulation due to prevailing winds. Assuming that snow-grains are the dominant source of backscatter, the classical independent-scatterer model is physically implausible at firn densities; a second-order dense-medium radiative transfer model also is unable to explain both the observed d and ơ0. A modified Born approach provides a better match to ơ0 and p separately, but leads to different grain size solutions for each measurement type. A buried layer model based on the incoherent addition of echoes from hoar layer interfaces, in which scattering from a single layer is derived from small-perturbation methods, reconciles the ERS ơ0 and p data, with variations in hoar layer spacing of 12-17 cm providing the needed structural fluctuations for the observed range of ơ0 and p. Translation of layer spacing into accumulation rates predicts a 40% variability in accumulation rate from the windward to lee side and, more importantly, addresses high-resolution mapping of continental accumulation rates"--Leaves iv-v.
