Land Deformation of West Sulawesi Due to the Earthquake in 2021–2022 Based on Sentinel-1A Data Processing Using the DinSAR Methods
摘要
One of the natural phenomena that often occurs in Indonesia is earthquakes, one of which is in West Sulawesi Province. Land conditions in the province experienced many changes after the earthquake in 2021 and 2022. Considering that the analysis of Sentinel-1A image data uses the DInSAR (Differential Interferometry Synthetic Aperture Radar) method in research in several ground conditions, which can describe in detail the ground deformation, then in this research, further exploration will be carried out regarding this method to analyze post-earthquake soil conditions in West Sulawesi in 2021 and 2022. This research generally aims to monitor soil deformation where the earthquake occurred using Sentinel-1A satellite imagery processed using the Differential Interferometry Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) method. Deformation observations using four pairs of Sentinel-1A images with data acquisition in 2020–2022 Level-1 SLC (Single Look Complex) with dual polarization (VV: Vertical-Vertical and VH: Vertical-Horizontal) and Interferometry Wide acquisition mode (IW). Based on the results of data processing that has been carried out, it is known that the land deformation that occurred before the earthquake occurred was a rise in land level of 0.002 meters and a decrease in land level of −0.078 meters. At the time of the earthquake, the land level dropped by −0.370 meters, and the land level rose by 0.670 meters. So, the average deformation due to an earthquake is a rise in land level of 0.130–0.360 meters and a decrease in land level of −0.100 to −0.550 meters.
