Landslide phenomena in sevan national park - Armenia

Abstract

Based on data from master and slave complex images obtained on 30 August 2008 and 4 October 2008 by satellite ENVISAT with ASAR sensor,all processing chain is performed to evaluate landslides phenomena in Sevan National park – Republic of Armenia. For this purpose Identification Deformation Inspection and Observation Tool developed by Berlin University of Technology is applied. This software package uses a freely available DEM of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) and performs a fully automatic generation of differential SAR interferograms from ENVISAT single look complex SAR data. All interferometric processing steps are implemented with maximum quality and precision. The results illustrate almost calm Earth surface in the area of Sevan Lake.
