Dr. GE Linlin, associate professor at the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), delivered a report titled “Monitoring urban subsidence due to groundwater extraction with PS- and DS-InSAR” at RADI Academic Forum on April 4, 2015.

In his report, Dr. Ge reviewed the InSAR, D-InSAR and PS-InSAR (permanent scatterer InSAR) techniques. Then he introduced a new InSAR technique named DS-InSAR (distributed scatterer InSAR), which is the fourth-generation InSAR technique. Moreover, he reported his recent work on urban subsidence monitoring with DS-InSAR. The monitoring, involving the state-of-the-art DS-InSAR and PS-InSAR, has been applied in measuring subsidence in both Bandung of Indonesia and the Gippsland Basin of Australia.

Dr. GE Linlin received his BEng (first Hons) in Optical Engineering from the Wuhan Technical University of Surveying and Mapping (1985), MSc in Crustal Deformation from the Institute of Seismology (1988), and PhD in GPS and remote sensing from the UNSW (2001).
