Abstract

We present an unsupervised tool for the automatic generation of co-seismic displacement maps by using satellite Differential Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (DInSAR) technique. The tool relies on the use of Sentinel-1 SLC Interferometric Wide Swath (IWS) data and main earthquake information, the latter retrieved from on-line global catalogs. In particular, the tool collects location, depth and magnitude of a seismic event and immediately triggers the data download and the interferometric process over the area affected by the earthquake. The generated DInSAR results (mainly interferograms and displacement maps) are then made available to the Solid Earth scientific community through the EPOS Research Infrastructure. Moreover, the implemented system is also used to serve the Italian Department of Civil Protection in case of main seismic events in Italy. Finally, due to the Sentinel-1 characteristics, the obtained results can contribute to the generation of a global database of DInSAR co-seismic displacement maps.
