Abstract: We combine surface displacements derived from satellite-based Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) with geomechanical models to assess geohazards near two pipeline corridors: a pipeline right-of-way in central British Columbia and a slope adjacent to Fels Glacier in Alaska. The geomechanical models are based on published geological data and aerial and ground photographs, and are constrained with InSAR-derived displacements and slope inclinometer data.
