Abstract
Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and GPS have been used successfully to monitor surface deformation in urban environments and flat, barren terrain, characterized by permanent structures and stable landscapes. A carbon sequestration and enhanced coalbed methane test in southwest Virginia presented a unique opportunity to test the capability of non-stationary GPS and InSAR in unstable terrain that includes varying topography, dense vegetation, and few permanent structures. Combined use of GPS and InSAR can cross-validate results and could provide a practical solution for monitoring surface deformation caused by activities related to the development of energy resources in similar, unstable terrains.
