TL;DR: Spaceborne optical Very High Resolution and SAR data were applied at a basin scale for analysing shallow rapid-moving and slow-moving landslides in the emergency management and post- disaster phases, demonstrating their effectiveness for post-disaster damage assessment, landslide detection and rapid mapping, the definition of states of activity and updating of landslide inventory maps.

TL;DR: It is shown that the Sentinel-1 constellation can be used for continuous and systematic tracking of ground deformation phenomena at the regional scale and how satellite data, acquired with short revisiting times and promptly processed, can act as a key information layer for risk mitigation.

TL;DR: In this article, the potential use of the integration of PSI (Persistent Scatterer Interferometry) and GB-InSAR (ground-based Synthetic Aperture Radar Interference) for landslide hazard mitigation was evaluated for mapping and monitoring activities of the San Fratello landslide (Sicily, Italy).

TL;DR: Ground deformation velocities of the buildings in San Fratello (Sicily, Italy) are analyzed using satellite PSI data using different sensors, acquired from 1992 to 2012 to evaluate the residual risk.

TL;DR: The case studies in the eastern sector of the Pisa urban area have demonstrated the direct correlation between the age of construction of buildings and the registered subsidence rates, showing the importance of urbanization as an accelerating factor for the ground consolidation process.
