Seasonal permafrost subsidence monitoring in Tavvavuoma (Sweden) and Chersky (Russia) using Sentinel-1 data and the SBAS stacking techniqueRehn, Ida January 2022 (has links)
Permafrost deformation is expected to increase due to climatic perturbations such as amplified air and soil temperatures, resulting in permafrost thawing and subsequent subsidence. Palsas and peat plateaus are uplifted ice-rich peat mounds that experience permafrost subsidence. This is due to the uppermost layer of permafrost, known as the Active Layer (AL), that seasonally thaws and freezes. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) is an interferometric stacking technique successfully applied over permafrost regions when monitoring ground subsidence. The Small Baseline Subset (SBAS) technique is based on interferograms produced by stacking Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) acquisitions with small normal baselines. In this study, seasonal Sentinel-1 SAR C-band data obtained during June, July, August and September (JJAS) was used to generate seasonal Line of Sight (LoS) deformation time series of palsas and peat plateaus in Tavvavuoma (Sweden) by using the SBAS technique. Chersky (Russia) has documented permafrost subsidence and was used as a reference site. Findings include that seasonal stacks with short normal baselines generated more robust results than inter-annual stacks with longer normal baselines and temporal data gaps. No instances of pronounced subsidence were reported during JJAS. Nevertheless, minor subsidence during the early season and negative development trends were identified in the Tavvavuoma 2020 andChersky 2020-2021 stacks, respectively. Increased subsidence during the mid-and late thaw season was detected. The SBAS technique performed better and resulted in less temporal and seasonal decorrelation in areas above the tree line (Tavvavuoma) compared to the lowlands in the forest-tundra (Chersky). The challenge lies in whether surface subsidence of palsas and peat plateaus in sporadic permafrost regions experience irreversible long-term changes or seasonally cyclic changes in the permafrost ground regime. Future studies are recommended to implement annual intervals, including winter images over Tavvavuoma.
