Satellite methods within integrated land surface deformation monitoring in a mine field

The article defines the current problems in the land surface deformation monitoring in case of underground mineral mining and validates an integrated approach using the advance methods of terrain and remote monitoring. The features and advantages of satellite radar interferometry over the other geodetic surveying techniques are described. The experience of satellite radar interferometry in undermined terrain monitoring in Russia and abroad is reviewed. The potential ranges of use of remote sensing to that end are identified. It is of the current interest to integrate satellite radar interferometry in the undermined land deformation monitoring, in particular, during mine closure, in compliance with the effective standards imposed on gauging. The accomplished analysis allows arriving to a conclusion on the demandable adaptation of deformation monitoring with satellite radar interferometry to mine closure phases with regard to special nature of land surface deformation in this case.
