Elastic and Inelastic Ground Deformation in Shanghai Lingang Area Revealed by Sentinel-1, Leveling, and Groundwater Level Data

Shanghai Lingang New City, located in the southeast corner of Shanghai, was constructed by land reclamation from 2002 to 2005, in an area where the geological structure is prone to subsidence over time. Firstly, we explore the spatio-temporal pattern of ground subsidence and its mechanism using the...

description Shanghai Lingang New City, located in the southeast corner of Shanghai, was constructed by land reclamation from 2002 to 2005, in an area where the geological structure is prone to subsidence over time. Firstly, we explore the spatio-temporal pattern of ground subsidence and its mechanism using the Persistent Scatterers Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PSInSAR) technique by processing 50 scenes of Sentinel-1A images acquired from May 2016 to May 2018. In order to assess the accuracy of PSInSAR derived deformation, we collect the first-class leveling data at two benchmarks located in the study area; the comparison between the two settlement indicates that the maximum difference is 1.93 mm and 2.9 mm, respectively, which validates the PSInSAR’s high accuracy. We then obtain the skeleton release coefficients by the joint analysis of PSInSAR measurements and groundwater level data. Finally, we find that this coastal area has undergone both elastic and inelastic deformation from 2016 to 2018. The outcome shows that the combination of different techniques is conductive to understand the deformation mechanism of the aquifer system in these coastal areas, which is expected to be a valuable reference for ground subsidence monitoring and groundwater extraction management.
