SAR Interferometry monitoring over the folded area of Abu Roash, Egypt

Almost ten years of ground deformation history of Greater Cairo area has been investigated by applying SAR Interferometric techniques to time-series of ENVISAT ASAR satellite images: it has been the main issue of a project funded in 2010 by NATO. In particular, the application of SAR Interferometric stacking method makes possible to pinpoint peculiar uplift spots in a centralwestern segment of the study area, the Abu Rawash folded territory, NW of Giza pyramids plain. The research is addressed to evaluate these ground deformation anomalies within the general framework of the known geological and tectonic setting of the area.
