Abstract:
Due to the rapid economic development and urban construction and the high exploitation rate of groundwater and geothermal resource, Jimo district existed a potential threat of surface deformation. To clarify the characteristics and causations of surface deformation, this study firstly used SBAS-InSAR (Small Baseline Subset-Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) technology to analyze the surface defor-mation distribution in the whole research area. Then, three areas with different surface cover conditions were selected to analyze the causations of surface deformation. Lastly, taking central urban area as the key research area, surface deformation causations were analyzed in detail based on PS-InSAR (Persistent Scatter-Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) technology. The study found that, in coastal mollisol area, farmland area, and hot spring area, the maximum subsidence velocity reached up to 46.8 mm/a, 24 mm/a, and 19.1 mm/a, respectively. The factors, including surface loading, precipitation, and the groundwater level, were the causations of surface deformation in different research areas. The trend of the surface deformation curve was consistent with that of the groundwater level curve in the central urban area, but the response time of surface deformation lagged behind the change of groundwater level by approximately 4 months.
