Abstract
The Bam earthquake of 26/12/2003 (Mw=6.5) demolished the city of Bam and provoked serious damages in Baravat city, which are located in a tectonic intersection zone in the SE of Iran. The present study focus on Bam earthquake seismotectonic investigations and damages assessment based on Envisat interferometric coherence images. Field observations, SAR magnitude and multitemporal SAR images were also used to support and verify the coherence image interpretation. Concerning the damages assessment the results were very poor in terms of recognition and operational capabilities. On the contrary the used of interferometric coherence image came to be very useful for seismic fault and rupture zones detection. Through this method a hidden fault, a parallel segment of the already known Bam fault, was identified.
