It then discusses the potential of integration of interferometric synthetic aperture radar (DInSAR) for DInSAR and mathematical modelling as the two measuring the subsidence at Wairakei and Tauhara geothermal complementary techniques. fields in New Zealand. Both conventional two-pass DInSAR and coherent targets were utilised. The potential of integration of II. DIN SAR DInSAR and mathematical modelling for geothermal subsidence monitoring and future subsidence prediction are also discussed. This project started with the analysis using conventional Keyword: DInSAR, coherent targets monitoring, modelling, two-pass DInSAR. The flow chart of DInSAR process is geothermal subsidence.
