Rapture and surface deformation mapping of Türkiye 2023 earthquake using DInSAR with Sentinel-1 satellite data

Abstract

This paper showcases the utility of the Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar
(DInSAR) technique in mapping the surface deformation caused by the 7.8 Mw earthquakes
that hit the southern pate of Türkiye on February 6, 2023. By processing SAR data acquisition
by Sentinel-1A satellite. The study result demonstrates the ability of DInSAR to provide highly
accurate and comprehensive information on rupture caused over the known fault as well as
jolting and land deformation area from strong seismic events. Furthermore, the observed
significant surface deformation, including both uplift and subsidence, highlights the potential
of DInSAR in geo-hazard study which can mitigate the risk and disaster caused by earthquakes.
The results underline the importance of real-time earthquake detection and monitoring and
can do early warning to the policies and other emergencies time to save life as more as possible
close to the shake.
