High resolution displacement monitoring of a slow velocity landslide using ground based radar interferometry
Abstract Ground-based interferometric radar (GBIR) monitoring was conducted on a slow-moving, translational failure landslide in Granby, Grand County, Colorado, USA. Radar monitoring was completed over two separate surveys in 2011 using a tripod mounted real aperture sensor. The purpose of this work is to evaluate GBIR as a temporally dense monitoring technique for monitoring landslide displacement and compare the monitoring results to ongoing GPS based surveying methods to verify measured displacements. We discuss the strengths and limitations of GBIR displacement monitoring with a variety of available sensors, and place this monitoring platform, sensor, and workflow into context of previous slope stability monitoring with GBIR. For both surveys, displacement time series were created through a small temporal baseline stacking to reduce noise and maintain high temporal resolution. The results of the displacement time series were compared to average displacement rates derived from GPS based surveying. An overall verification of radar and GPS derived displacement rates was achieved, and identifies important differences relating to the precision and uncertainty of the two techniques. This work demonstrates GBIR monitoring capability of establishing high temporal resolution on tracking variable rates of landslide movements. Spatial modeling of total observed displacements was completed for both surveys verifying a conceptual model of uniform translational landslide movement, providing greater confidence for mitigation planning.
Highlights GBIR used to monitor landslide at millimetric precision with GPS comparison. Real-aperture/rotational sensor requires specific approach for landslide monitoring. High rate radar monitoring allows exploitation of zero baseline and temporal network.
