Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of the performance of TerraSAR-X for subsidence monitoring in urban areas. The city of Murcia has been selected as a test-site due to its high deformation rate and the set of extensometers deployed along the city that provide validation data. The obtained results have been compared with those ob-tained from ERS/ENVISAT data belonging to the same period and validated with the in-situ measurements.
