Abstract
In the last 20 years the exploitation of satellite SAR interferometry has shown a considerable improvement due to the development of new InSAR PSI techniques and the availability of the new satellite sensors with higher spatial and temporal resolution. One of the most interesting applications is the possibility of mapping slow landslides processes. In this paper we present an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of using L-, C- and X-band sensors for mapping and monitoring landslides in the Rio Gállego upper basin (Central Pyrenees, Spain) techniques.
