DInSAR-Based Detection of Land Subsidence and Correlation with Groundwater Depletion in Konya Plain, Turkey Caló, Fabiana Notti, Davide Galve Arnedo, Jorge Pedro Abdikan, Saygin Görüm, Tolga Pepe, Antonio Sanli, Füsun Balik Remote sensing Differential SAR Interferometry (DInSAR) Small BAseline Subset (SBAS) In areas where groundwater overexploitation occurs, land subsidence triggered by aquifer compaction is observed, resulting in high socio-economic impacts for the affected communities. In this paper, we focus on the Konya region, one of the leading economic centers in the agricultural and industrial sectors in Turkey. We present a multi-source data approach aimed at investigating the complex and fragile environment of this area which is heavily affected by groundwater drawdown and ground subsidence. In particular, in order to analyze the spatial and temporal pattern of the subsidence process we use the Small BAseline Subset DInSAR technique to process two datasets of ENVISAT SAR images spanning the 2002–2010 period. The produced ground deformation maps and associated time-series allow us to detect a wide land subsidence extending for about 1200 km2 and measure vertical displacements reaching up to 10 cm in the observed time interval. DInSAR results, complemented with climatic, stratigraphic and piezometric data as well as with land-cover changes information, allow us to give more insights on the impact of climate changes and human activities on groundwater resources depletion and land subsidence. 2024-10-01T10:06:03Z 2024-10-01T10:06:03Z 2017-01-17 journal article Caló, F.; Notti, D.; Galve, J.P.; Abdikan, S.; Görüm, T.; Pepe, A.; Balik Şanli, F.
