Application of Differential Interferometry for Analysis of Ground Movements in Albania
Abstract
Albanian territory is experiencing geomorphological changes that are impacting both the environment and human activities. The tectonic zone of PreAdriatic Depression is one of most touched areas by the erosion, landslides and movement of the Adriantic Sea shoreline. Intense human activities are going on in hilly ranges parallel to the sea shore that are partly composed from lousy sandstone and subject to catastrophic landslides. Complicated geomorphologic phenomena are observed during the sea shore characterised by significant sea transgression in typically accumulative areas. For several years we have studied these phenomena using satellite imagery, using free archives of LANDSAT, SAR ERS and ENVISAT. In the paper we present some results obtained recently using SAR images.
