Abstract

Large, slow moving landslides in the Berkeley Hills cause many damage and pose a potential threat to public safety due to the close proximity of the Hayward Fault. We have been using Differential SAR interferometry (DInSAR) and time-series analysis of SAR data to resolve the rates of the landslide motion. In this paper, we aim to interpret the new satellite TerraSAR-X data in this small landslides area. We have acquired both Stripmap data and Spotlight data. Standard InSAR method as well as Persistent Scatterer InSAR is utilized in the processing.
