2 December 2005
| This interferogram shows ground motion associated with the 26 December 2003 earthquake at Bam in Iran. The interferogram was created by combining an Envisat Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) Wide Swath Mode (WSM) image with an Image Mode (IM) image. Typically IM is the sole ASAR mode exploited for interferography; making use of WSM in this way has the potential to broaden Envisat's InSAR coverage in future. Processed by Politecnico of Milano.

| | | | | Composite image of Greenland derived from ERS1-2 Envisat and Radarsat 1 SARs. Study of glacier velocity over the Greenland ice sheet has shown significant acceleration of outlet glaciers during the last few years, doubling Greenland's contribution to sea level rise from 1999 to 2005, according to Eric Rignot of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, USA.

Seasonal motions of the San Siro Stadium in Milano (right); colours indicate position and motion of the imaged permanent scatterers. Motion of the side in shade (top left) and of the sunny side (bottom left).

| | | | | Result of a PS interferogram analysis of the city of Marseilles overlayed on an optical image. The blue points and the inserted plot indicate an uplift of the commercial centre. This investigation is part of the PSIC4 study (Persistent Scatterer Interferometry Code Cross-Comparison and Certification), a comparison of PSI algorithms initiated at the FRINGE 2003 Workshop.
