Abstract
In recent years, North China has implemented a series of groundwater recharge policies and strictly controlled exploitation in areas with severe subsidence. Since 2015, the groundwater table (GT) has rebounded significantly, effectively slowing down the rate of land subsidence (LS) in Beijing. However, the sharp rise in GT has caused uneven deformation of the surface along the subway, posing risks to both surface and underground facilities. Within these subsidence zones, LS and groundwater changes are affected by multiple factors, with their temporal patterns reflecting the combined effects. This study aims to (1) Analyze the temporal variation characteristics of the non-uniform LS along the subway lines from 2018 to 2023 using multi-technique interferometric synthetic aperture radar (MT-InSAR), (2)Decompose the LS and GT time series into trend components and period components via the singular spectrum analysis (SSA), and (3)Assess the temporal and periodic correlation between LS and confined aquifer GT.
期刊介绍:
The journal ''Remote Sensing Applications: Society and Environment'' (RSASE) focuses on remote sensing studies that address specific topics with an emphasis on environmental and societal issues - regional / local studies with global significance. Subjects are encouraged to have an interdisciplinary approach and include, but are not limited by: " -Global and climate change studies addressing the impact of increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases, CO2 emission, carbon balance and carbon mitigation, energy system on social and environmental systems -Ecological and environmental issues including biodiversity, ecosystem dynamics, land degradation, atmospheric and water pollution, urban footprint, ecosystem management and natural hazards (e.g. earthquakes, typhoons, floods, landslides) -Natural resource studies including land-use in general, biomass estimation, forests, agricultural land, plantation, soils, coral reefs, wetland and water resources -Agriculture, food production systems and food security outcomes -Socio-economic issues including urban systems, urban growth, public health, epidemics, land-use transition and land use conflicts -Oceanography and coastal zone studies, including sea level rise projections, coastlines changes and the ocean-land interface -Regional challenges for remote sensing application techniques, monitoring and analysis, such as cloud screening and atmospheric correction for tropical regions -Interdisciplinary studies combining remote sensing, household survey data, field measurements and models to address environmental, societal and sustainability issues -Quantitative and qualitative analysis that documents the impact of using remote sensing studies in social, political, environmental or economic systems
