Frequent Glacial Hazard Deformation Detection Based on POT-SBAS InSAR in the Sedongpu Basin in the Himalayan Region
The Sedongpu Basin is characterized by frequent glacial debris movements and glacial hazards. To accurately monitor and research these glacier hazards, Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar images observed between 2014 and 2022 were collected to extract surface motion using SBAS-POT technology. The ac...

| description | The Sedongpu Basin is characterized by frequent glacial debris movements and glacial hazards. To accurately monitor and research these glacier hazards, Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar images observed between 2014 and 2022 were collected to extract surface motion using SBAS-POT technology. The acquired temporal surface deformation and multiple optical remote sensing images were then jointly used to analyze the characteristics of the long-term glacier movement in the Sedongpu Basin. Furthermore, historical meteorological and seismic data were collected to analyze the mechanisms of multiple ice avalanche chain hazards. It was found that abnormal deformation signals of glaciers SDP1 and SDP2 could be linked to the historical ice avalanche disaster that occurred around the Sedongpu Basin. The maximum deformation rate of SDP1 was 74 m/a and the slope cumulative deformation exceeded 500 m during the monitoring period from 2014 to 2022, which is still in active motion at present; for SDP2, a cumulative deformation of more than 300 m was also detected over the monitoring period. Glaciers SDP3, SDP4, and SDP5 have been relatively stable until now; however, ice cracks are well developed in SDP4 and SDP5, and ice avalanche events may occur if these ice cracks continue to expand under extreme natural conditions in the future. Therefore, this paper emphasizes the seriousness of the ice avalanche event in Sedongpu Basin and provides data support for local disaster management and disaster prevention and reduction. |
