The aim of this study was to evaluate millimeter-scale deformations in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, by using repeated leveling data and the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of Sentinel-1 satellite mission. The persistent scattered interferometric SAR (PS-InSAR) analysis of images from ascending and descending orbits from June 2016 to November 2021 resulted the line-of-sight (LOS) displacement velocities in the Tallinn city center. Velocity solutions were estimated for the full period of time, but also for shorter periods to monitor deformation changes in yearly basis. The gridded LOS velocity models were used for the decomposition of east-west and vertical velocities. Additionally, the uncertainty of 2D velocity solutions was estimated by following the propagation of uncertainty. The 3D velocity of permanent GNSS station “MUS2” in Tallinn was used to unify the reference of all PS-InSAR velocity solutions. The results of the latest leveling in Tallinn city center in 2007/2008 and 2019 showed rather small subsidence rates which were in agreement with InSAR long-termsolution. However, the short-termInSAR velocity solutions revealed larger subsidence of city center with a rate about –10 mm/yr in 2016–2017, and the uplift around 5 mm/yr in 2018–2019 with relatively stable periods in 2017–2018 and 2019–2021. The inclusion of groundwater level observation data and the geological mapping information into the analysis revealed possible spatiotemporal correlation between the InSAR results and the groundwater level variations over the deep valleys buried under quaternary sediments.

Geological hazards caused by landslides, earthquakes, erosion, land surface deformation and collapse in 2021 in Poland were among the average compared to recent years. They did, however, affect material losses. The Polish Geological Survey (PGS) recorded 41 events related to sudden landslide activations, which damaged or destroyed 17 road sections. Through ongoing monitoring of 72 landslides, 33 were shown to be active. In 2021, more than 5,200 landslides were identified and inventoried in Poland. Geodynamic monitoring performed by PGS recorded 611 seismic events in Poland, whose magnitudes reached M4.2. In addition, using satellite radar interferometry, continuation of land surface deformations was found mainly in mining areas. In 2021, there was a number of collapses of various origins. The paper is a brief report on the ongoing tasks of the Polish Geological Survey in the field of geological hazards and presents events that took place in Poland in 2021.

The main objective of the presented analysis was to investigate to what extent even minor changes in the hydrological and hydrogeological environment affect the changes in the dynamics of landslide surface displacement. The research was carried out for selected monitored landslides, which, in addition to the in-depth monitoring devices, were equipped with corner reflectors suitable for satellite radar interferometry measurements. The high temporal resolution of the interferometric data allowed demonstrating the existence of a relationship between the speed of surface movements and slight changes in the depth to the groundwater table. The analyses were performed for five landslides, which also showed a high dependence of these compounds on the geological structure of the landslide and its substrate.

The paper describes geohazard events that took place in 2020 on the territory of Poland. The PGI is responsible for geohazard monitoring in four areas of interest :landslides and mass movements within the Landslide Counteracting System (LCS, SOPO in Polish), earthquakes within the Geodynamical Monitoring of Poland and ground motions within the Interferometric Terrain Deformations Monitoring of Poland, and coastal monitoring carried out by the Marine Geology Branch within a framework of the 4D Cartography. In 2020, there were no spectacular geohazard events; however, there were some permanently active phenomena, mostly landslides, which caused significant damages to the infrastructure.

The scope of presented work was to apply the ENVISAT/ASAR data acquired in different alternating polarization modes and under different viewing geometry to characterize Persistent Scatterers (PS) in the context of their scattering mechanism. Persistent Scatterers are explored by SAR interferometry (InSAR) in the Persistent Scatterers Interferometry (PS-InSAR) method. This technique is nowadays one of the most actively developing branches of InSAR. It utilizes coherent natural "radar reflectors" with a consistent reflectivity pattern in time. The PS-InSAR method is the first one to allow the exploration of almost all archived SAR data over a certain area and can retrieve a long-term series of the observations of the individual PS points. Despite this, PS-InSAR used as an operational method of the scattering mechanisms of individual PS is still not fully explored. It is usually not known if the scatterer has specular, dihedral or trihedral geometry and if the reflection comes from one individual strong target or a set of targets located within the resolution cell. Knowledge about scatterer characteristics is very important to separate scatterers representing different deformation regimes: e.g. subsidence, deformations of the construction, soil compaction. This problem becomes crucial if spatial interpolation of the deformation signal is required. A high density of PS is typical for densely urbanized areas (> 100 PS/km²). Urban areas are also ones of the highest interests, in terms of inhabitants’ safety. For purposes of this study, Malbork City in Northern Poland was selected because of its very good coverage of ASAR alternating polarization data acquired under different modes and incidence angles. The specific various ASAR acquisitions have been designed for the purposes of the ESA AO-783 project which was focused on environmental and agricultural classification. A set of Persistent Scatterers has been collected by processing a stack of 55 ERS-1/2 SAR scenes (ESA C1P.3915 project) using Delft University of Technology’s implementation of the PSI method. The 5683 PS points have been obtained that have a coherent behavior. ASAR scenes were calibrated and an analysis of auto-interferogram phase and image amplitudes was performed. Further analysis of the ASAR data is focused on the relationship between incidence angle variations and amplitude, and on the change of polarization. The results were compared with the scattering models of canonical scatterers (specular, dihedral and trihedral). Preliminary results show that applications of variable incidence angle and alternating polarization data are a promising technique regarding scatterer characterization. However, to fully quantitatively analyze the data, precise coregistration is required.

W artykule przedstawiono próbę wykorzystania danych ENVISAT/ASAR zarejestrowanych w różnych trybach polaryzacji przemiennej i przy różnej geometrii padania wiązki radarowej do scharakteryzowania rozpraszaczy stabilnych (Persistent Scatterers - PS) w kontekście określenia ich mechanizmu odbicia. Rozpraszacze stabilne wykorzystuje się w satelitarnej interferometrii radarowej (InSAR) w tzw. metodzie interferometrii rozpraszaczy stabilnych (Persistent Scatterers SAR Interferometry - PSInSAR). Zagadnienie to jest szczególnie istotne dla określenia charakteru mierzonej metodą PSInSAR deformacji w danym punkcie. Największe skupiska PS (pow. 100 PS/km²) spotyka się na obszarach zabudowanych, gdzie pozwala na to geometria obiektów składająca się z płaszczyzn, materiał, brak rozpraszania objętościowego powodowanego przez roślinność, a także stabilność w czasie. Dla przeprowadzenia omawianych badań wytypowano miasto Malbork z uwagi na niewielkie rozmiary (łatwa identyfikacja obiektów) i dobre pokrycie danymi ASAR w trybach polaryzacji przemiennej uzyskane w projekcie ESA AO-783. Zbiór rozpraszaczy stabilnych dla obszaru Malborka uzyskano metodą PSInSAR na podstawie serii 55 rejestracji ERS-1/2 SAR pozyskanych w ramach projektu ESA C1P.3915. Łącznie wyznaczono 5 683 punkty a następnie przeprowadzono analizę amplitudy i fazy dla wybranych obiektów na obrazach ASAR. Badano zależności fazy auto-interferogramów obrazów AP (alternate polarization) oraz zależności amplitudy od zmiany kąta padania wiązki. Otrzymane wyniki porównano z modelami odbicia fali radarowej od 3 elementarnych typów reflektorów: jednościennych, dwuściennych i trójściennych. Wstępne wnioski potwierdzają przydatność obrazów o polaryzacji przemiennej i różnym kącie padania wiązki do rozpoznawania charakterystyki PS.
