Abstract

As a global geological environment problem, geological disasters are more likely to induce severe geological disasters and cause loss of personnel and property due to their suddenness and concealment, frequent heavy rainfall and regular extreme weather. In this paper, Sentinel-1A data and DEM data combined with short baseline synthetic aperture interferar (SBAS-InSAR) technology are used to analyze and calculate the spatial-temporal evolution characteristics of surface deformation in Zibo-Weifang area of Shandong Province during 2016–2019. Linear fitting of InSAR monitoring deformation results is performed using level monitoring data to verify the accuracy of the results. The findings indicate that surface deformation in most of the study area is relatively stable, but in some areas, especially near Lucun Town, the maximum negative deformation rate exceeds 80mm/a. Based on the surface deformation results, a total of 377 potential geological disasters are identified using an integrated multi-source stereo observation system of the sky and ground. This identification is done by observing optical remote sensing images and taking the absolute value of surface deformation rate greater than 10 mm/a as the judgment basis, along with ground investigation and review. Several typical geological disaster sites are screened and they are found to be in unstable state. The research results can provide scientific support for geological disaster prevention and control in Shandong Province.
