• Combining Satellite and Terrestrial Interferometric Radar Data to Investigate Surface Displacement in the Storfjord and Kåfjord Area, Northern Norway. 

      Eriksen, Harald Øverli (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2017-10-10)
      Due to their all-weather all-day capabilities and increased availability, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometric displacement datasets have gained popularity in a variety of scientific disciplines. Both satellite and ground-based platforms are used. Satellite-based radar instruments cover large areas on a regular basis without the need for in-situ instrumentation. As with all measuring ...
    • Permafrost in monitored unstable rock slopes in Norway-New insights from temperature and surface velocity measurements, geophysical surveying, and ground temperature modelling 

      Etzelmüller, Bernd; Czekirda, Justyna; Magnin, Florence; Duvillard, Pierre-Allain; Ravanel, Ludovic; Malet, Emanuelle; Aspaas, Andreas Grøvan; Kristensen, Lene; Skrede, Ingrid; Majala, Gudrun D.; Jacobs, Benjamin; Leinauer, Johannes; Hauck, Christian; Hilbich, Christin; Böhme, Martina; Hermanns, Reginald; Eriksen, Harald Øverli; Lauknes, Tom Rune; Krautblatter, Michael; Westermann, Sebastian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-01)
      The warming and subsequent degradation of mountain permafrost within alpine areas represent an important process influencing the stability of steep slopes and rock faces. The unstable and monitored slopes of Mannen (Møre and Romsdal county, southern Norway) and Gámanjunni-3 (Troms and Finnmark county, northern Norway) were classified as high-risk sites by the Norwegian Geological Survey (NGU). ...
    • Recent acceleration of a rock glacier complex, Ádjet, Norway, documented by 62 years of remote sensing observations 

      Eriksen, Harald Øverli; Rouyet, Line; Lauknes, Tom Rune; Berthling, Ivar; Hindberg, Heidi; Larsen, Yngvar; Corner, Geoffrey D. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-23)
      Recent acceleration of rock glaciers is well recognized in the European Alps, but similar behavior is hardly documented elsewhere. Also, the controlling factors are not fully understood. Here we provide evidence for acceleration of a rock glacier complex in northern Norway, from 62 years of remote sensing data. Average annual horizontal velocity measured by aerial feature tracking increased from ...
    • Relating 3D surface displacement from satellite- and ground-based InSAR to structures and geomorphology of the Jettan rockslide, northern Norway 

      Eriksen, Harald Øverli; Bergh, Steffen G; Larsen, Yngvar; Skrede, Ingrid; Kristensen, Lene; Lauknes, Tom Rune; Blikra, Lars Harald; Kierulf, Halfdan Pascal (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-13)
      This study combines remote sensing data from ground- and satellite-based radar to calculate 3D displacement vectors for the Jettan rockslide, Troms, northern Norway. Using 3D displacement vectors, aspect data and strain rates in conjunction with structure (foliation, faults, fractures), geomorphological elements (ridges, scarps, terraces, depressions), topography and borehole data, we identify zones ...
    • Slope displacement patterns observed using satellite InSAR data in the Storfjord-Kåfjord-Lyngen region, Troms 

      Eriksen, Harald Øverli (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2013-05-15)
      Norway is particularly susceptible to large rockslides due to its many fjords and steep mountains. One of the most dangerous hazards related to rock slope failures are tsunamis that can lead to large loss of life. Many rockslides are clustered east of the Storfjord and Lyngen fjord in Troms county, northern Norway, where several mapped unstable rock slopes occur within the zone of sporadic permafrost. ...
    • Visualizing and interpreting surface displacement patterns on unstable slopes using multi-geometry satellite SAR interferometry (2D InSAR) 

      Eriksen, Harald Øverli; Lauknes, Tom Rune; Larsen, Yngvar; Corner, Geoffrey D.; Bergh, Steffen G; Dehls, John; Kierulf, Halfdan Pascal (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-05)
      It is well known that satellite radar interferometry (InSAR) is capable of measuring surface displacement with a typical accuracy on the order of millimeters to centimeters. However, when the true deformation vector differs from the satellite line-of-sight (LOS), the sensitivity decreases and interpretation of InSAR deformationmeasurements becomes challenging. By combining displacement data ...
