AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF SENTINEL-1 DINSAR CO-SEISMIC MAPS

This paper presents an automatic tool for the generation of co-seismic displacement maps through the satellite Differential Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (DInSAR) technique. By benefiting from the mostly global availability of Sentinel-1 SAR data and the on-line earthquake catalogs, the tool retrieves information about the depth and magnitude of recent earthquakes and triggers, if necessary, the interferometric process over the area affected by the seismic event. The generated DInSAR products will be openly available for the scientific community, to create a global database of interferometric co-seismic deformation maps giving a support to scientific users, especially those non-expert of SAR data processing. Moreover, this tool not only will contribute to expand the use of DInSAR products in the geoscience field, but also can play a key role in the support of the Civil Protection authorities during the seismic crisis.
