Analysis of Land Subsidence in the Agglomeration of Jakarta

The World Bank is currently preparing the project to mitigate flood risk in the city of Jakarta. This includes an assessment of land subsidence causes and trends in the urban & peri-urban area of the agglomeration, which is often associated with ground water extraction and heavy construction. EO can contribute to this project with precise terrain motion monitoring using Very High Resolution Radar sensors through the “Persistent Scatterer Interferometry” (PSI) technique.
