Wavelet-based analysis of ground deformation coupling satellite acquisitions (Sentinel-1, SMOS) and data from shallow and deep wells in Southwestern France.

ABSTRACT: Acquisitions of the Sentinel-1 satellite are processed and comprehensively analyzed to investigate the ground displacement during a three-year period above a double gas storage site (Lussagnet and Izaute) in Southwestern France. Despite quite low vertical displacements (between 4 and 8 mm) compared to the noise level, the cyclic motion reflects the seasonal variations due to charge and discharge during summer and winter periods, respectively. We can simulate the ground deformation at both storage sites by a simple mechanical model. However, ground movements of low-magnitude may be also induced by natural factors, such as the temperature or the soil moisture. Using a wavelet-based analysis, we show there is a soil expansion in the Lussagnet zone that contrasts both in phase and period with the seasonal deformation and that is linked to the surface soil moisture measured by the SMOS satellite. This other displacement is consistent with the water infiltration in the unsaturated zone followed by the swelling of a clay layer. This work reveals the combination of two different processes driving the ground displacement with the same order of magnitude (about 6 mm), namely the pressure variation of a deep gas reservoir and the swelling/shrinking of the shallow subsurface.

Project description:The realization of a harmonious relationship between the natural environment and economic development has always been the unremitting pursuit of traditional mineral resource-based cities. With rich reserves of iron and coal ore resources, Laiwu has become an important steel production base in Shandong Province in China, after several decades of industrial development. However, some serious environmental problems have occurred with the quick development of local steel industries, with ground subsidence and consequent secondary disasters as the most representative ones. To better evaluate possible ground collapse risk, comprehensive approaches incorporating the common deformation monitoring with small-baseline subset (SBAS)-synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) technique, environmental factors analysis, and risk evaluation are designed here with ALOS PALSAR and Sentinel-1 SAR observations. A retrospect on the ground deformation process indicates that ground deformation has largely decreased by around 51.57% in area but increased on average by around -5.4 mm/year in magnitude over the observation period of Sentinel-1 (30 July 2015 to 22 August 2022), compared to that of ALOS PALSAR (17 January 2007 to 28 October 2010). To better reveal the potential triggering mechanism, environmental factors are also utilized and conjointly analyzed with the ground deformation time series. These analysis results indicate that the ground deformation signals are highly correlated with human industrial activities, such underground mining, and the operation of manual infrastructures (landfill, tailing pond, and so on). In addition, the evaluation demonstrates that the area with potential collapse risk (levels of medium, high, and extremely high) occupies around 8.19 km2, approximately 0.86% of the whole study region. This study sheds a bright light on the safety guarantee for the industrial operation and the ecologically friendly urban development of traditional steel production industrial cities in China.

Project description:Grasslands, being vital ecosystems with significant ecological and socio-economic importance, have been the subject of increasing attention due to their role in biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration, and agricultural productivity. However, accurately classifying grassland management intensity, namely extensive and intensive practices, remains challenging, especially across large spatial extents. This research article presents a comprehensive investigation into the classification of grassland management intensity in two distinct regions of Poland, NUTS2 - namely Podlaskie (PL84) and Wielkopolskie (PL41), by integrating data from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. The study leverages the unique capabilities of Sentinel-1, a radar satellite, and Sentinel-2, an optical multispectral satellite, to overcome the limitations of using a single data source. Preprocessed Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data were combined to extract spectral and textural features, providing valuable insights into grassland characteristics and patterns. Supervised classification using the Random Forest algorithm was used, and ground truth data from field surveys facilitated the creation of training samples. In Podlaskie, extensive grasslands achieved an overall accuracy (OA) of 84%, while intensive grasslands attained an OA of 83%. In Wielkopolskie, extensive grasslands exhibited an OA of 84%, while intensive grasslands achieved an OA of 83%. Additionally, the classification metrics, including user's accuracy (UA), F1 score, and producer's accuracy (PA), further highlighted the variations in classification accuracy. This comprehensive mapping of grassland management intensity using combined Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data provides valuable insights for conservation agencies, agricultural stakeholders, and land managers. The study's findings contribute to sustainable land management and decision-making processes, facilitating the identification of ecologically valuable areas, optimizing agricultural productivity, and assessing the impacts of different management strategies. Furthermore, the research highlights the potential of Sentinel missions for grassland monitoring and emphasizes the importance of advanced remote sensing techniques for understanding and preserving these crucial ecosystems.
