Abstract

This paper deals with the analyses of multifrequency dual-pol and quad-pol SRL-1 SAR data acquired in April 1994 over the Campanian area (Southern Italy). The results of the geological investigations, carried out using a variety of enhanced color images, show the effectiveness of multipolarization SAR data in providing valuable clues in morpho-structural analyses
