Abstract

AbstractLarge sets of remotely sensed data can be acquired using satellite communication technology and processed using high performance computers to produce interpreted images of objects on earth. The rapid advancement of remote sensing techniques has enabled these satellites to acquire data of large areas within a relatively short period. This study investigated the application of remote sensing imagery from two different platforms in monitoring land surface deformation in the Goldfields Ghana Limited Tarkwa, area. The results showed that both DInSAR and Intensity Difference Analysis are able to identify land surface deformation due to surface mining. However, it was not possible to pinpoint the location of slope failure without the knowledge of the incident.
