Abstract

We apply the radar interferometry technique to JERS-1 SAR data sets for detection of slow surface deformation occurred in Mt. Baekdu for a 6-year period (from 1992 to 1998). A series of interferograms has been constructed, and they indicated slow uplift deformation around the volcano. However, it is not conclusive because most interferometric fringes correlate with topographic elevation. It is necessary to remove trophospheric effects in the future works.
