Abstract

In this study, we employed SBAS-InSAR and Stacking-InSAR methods to monitor and analyze the surface deformation of coal mines in the Xi'an District of Liaoyuan. The Pearson correlation coefficient of the deformation results obtained from the two methods is 0.9. Moreover, the deformation regions monitored by the two techniques exhibit a high degree of consistency in their spatial distribution, validating the accuracy of our monitoring results. Using the monitoring data derived from InSAR and field investigations, we revealed the spatial distribution characteristics of surface subsidence and its temporal evolution between 2018 and 2021. Our findings indicate that subsidence predominantly occurred in five regions, with subsidence velocity slowing after October 2020, suggesting a gradual weakening of surface deformation activities. Additionally, we analyzed surface deformation indicators, such as tilt and curvature, revealing the complexity of the deformation areas characterized by multiple tilt and curvature deformation centers. These results provide a crucial scientific basis for geological disaster prevention and ecological restoration in the mining area, aiding the development of more effective management and restoration strategies.
