Abstract:

Early detection is a key to prevent and reduce geo-hazards. However, it is always problematic in complex topographic region, especially in alpine-valley region.Based on the Sentinel-1(ascending) and RADARSAT-2(descending) radar satellite data obtained from August 2018 to February 2020, quantitative detection and analysis of the potential surface deformation of landslides in the 80 km upstream and downstream of the Lancangjiang region along the Sichuan-Tibet railway was carried out by using the small baseline subsets in terferometric synthetic aperture radar(SBAS-InSAR). The results show that deformation rate in the LOS direction for the study period are from -58 to 21 mm/a (ascending) and from -42 to 16 mm/a (descending), respectively, and the maximum average deformation rate in the slope direction is -128 mm/a.Based on the deformation result in the slope direction, 113 potential landslides are detected,which are clustered in four regions. Besides, 13 landslides have significant deformation in the 113 potential landslides, deformation characteristics and slipping mechanism of the two critical landslide hazards were further analyzed. The results provide a reference for the route selection of Sichuan-Tibet railway,and for the geohazard prevention in the upstream/downstream of the Lancangjiang bridge. The technique of combining descending and ascending radar data can provide reference for early landslide detection in other alpine-valley regions along the Sichuan-Tibet railway.
