CHITTARANJANA, RAM (author)Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) is a geodetic technique that is capable of monitoring surface displacements up to millimeter-level of precision. The end products from conventional InSAR processing are application-agnostic, which means that they are not optimized for any particular application. InSAR products could be more...master thesis 2024

Geleijnse, Yuran (author)Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) stands as a widely adopted technique for monitoring displacements on the Earth's surface, providing millimeter-level precision. Several InSAR studies show the efficacy in retrospectively identifying hazardous situations, such as the failure of a structure. The next imperative step is to detect and...master thesis 2024

Bosman, Zoé (author)Over the years, InSAR has become an indispensable tool in the study of ground deformation, including volcanic deformation, and this continues to be the case in times of improved technology. Since the volcanoes on the Caribbean islands of Saba and St. Eustatius are active, the implementation of an InSAR-based monitoring system is crucial to...master thesis 2023

Hartman, Illona (author)In the field of structural and geotechnical engineering, a uniform approach to predict and model foundation settlements during the design phase of a high-rise building appears to be missing. In the Netherlands, pile foundations of tower structures underlain by compressible soil layers are challenging to model due to different stiffness and load...master thesis 2023

Brouwers, Raymond (author)Structural health monitoring of buildings is useful for a few reasons. It provides information on the usage and cause of damage to a building. This can result in targeted maintenance or allow for potential improvements.<br/><br/>Traditionally, a building can be monitored by installing sensors during construction or maintenance work. These can be...master thesis 2022

ZOUROS, JOHN (author)Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are widely used to monitor the dynamic behavior of the Earth. InSAR is a geodetic technique that estimates millimeter-level relative displacement time-series in an opportunistic network of a multitude of coherent points on the Earth’s surface, in a...master thesis 2021

Brouwer, Wietske (author)Satellite radar interferometry (InSAR) is a powerful technique for monitoring deformation phenomena. While deformation phenomena occur in a three-dimensional (3D) world, one of the limitations of the InSAR phase observations is that they are only sensitive to the projection of the 3D displacement vector onto the radar line-of-sight (LoS)...master thesis 2021

Felius, Max (author)Undiscovered underground cavities might exist in the subsurface. A catastrophic ground failure event follows when such a cavity starts to migrate upwards and finally intersects with the surface, resulting in a sinkhole. Catastrophic collapse events are usually preceded by precursory subsidence. An upward migrating cavity causes the development...master thesis 2021

Kaźmierczak, Adrianna (author)A satellite remote sensing technique, Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), is able to provide surface displacement information on a millimeter level. In this study, data from the TerraSAR-X satellite collected in the years 2009-2018 over the area of Amsterdam is used. Even though radar data is a subject to multi-step processing,...master thesis 2021

Geertzen, Sander Geertzen (author)Drought and subsidence are two out of several water-related urban climate adaptation challenges many cities in the Netherlands currently face. Drought is expected to increase in frequency and extent due to climate change. Therefore, drought is likely to further pressurize (subsiding) urban areas in the coming decades. Although the impact of...master thesis 2021

van Hout, Ylana (author)Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are outbursts caused by the failure of glacial lake moraine dams. Longer ongoing processes, such as moraine dam degradation, or instantaneous events, such as landslides, can trigger dam failure. GLOFs have a catastrophic downstream impact leading to significant economic damages and more than 12000 casualties...master thesis 2021

Patel, Karsh (author)The introduction of artificial reflectors in the areas to be imaged by a radar sensor facilitates interferometric analysis over regions of weak coherence between acquisitions. Traditionally, corner reflectors have been utilized; whose strong and stable scattering characteristics make them suitable for these purposes. Such reflectors also provide...master thesis 2020

Raghunathan, Pavithra (author)The Netherlands has for long been witnessing problems due to subsidence. While urban infrastructure is mostly safeguarded from differential settlement by deep pile foundations, the same cannot be said about greenhouses. The greenhouses of the Netherlands has enabled the country to become the largest exporter of vegetables, second only to the...master thesis 2020

Korevaar, A. (author)In this study an analysis of the efficacy of using satellite data, in the form of InSAR measurements, as an extension of the volcanic monitoring network on Saba and St. Eustatius is performed. For this research, data from three different satellites that operate at three different wavelengths are available: ALOS-2 (L-band SAR), Sentinel-1 (C-band...master thesis 2020

Bruna, Marc (author)Subsidence is affecting different parts of the Netherlands. The strongest subsidence is observed in the province of Groningen due to ongoing natural gas extraction. Subsidence is also observed at several locations in the province of South Holland, where the processes of peat oxidation, soil compaction and the withdrawal of groundwater are at the...master thesis 2020

Li, Ze (author)In SAR interferometry, the data acquired by satellite are large. The points in the dataset are usually expressed in spatial-temporal dimension in which many epochs may be included. Extra information including contextual values and data from other sources sometimes are important to be taken into account when analyzing the deformation based on the...student report 2020

Bemelmans, Mark (author)We use ground and space geodetic data to study surface deformation and gravity change at Kīlauea volcano from January to September 2015. This period includes an episode of heightened activity in May 2015, which we refer to as ’the May 2015 event’. The data set consists of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), tilt, visual and seismic time...master thesis 2019

Vleugels, Jef (author)In the Netherlands, the Delta Programme aspires to adjust spatial planning climate-proof and water-resilient, in order to be prepared for extreme weather in 2050. To achieve this ambition, municipalities, provinces, regional water authorities and central governments conduct stress tests to map out the vulnerabilities in their areas of authority...master thesis 2019

Verbeek, Joost (author)It is estimated that about 400.000 houses in the Netherlands – both shallow and wooden pile foundations – could be facing problems with their foundations. Although, house owners are becoming increasingly aware of the fact that problems (and thereby costs) can be prevented if remedial measures are taken in time. Monitoring of the foundation can...master thesis 2019
