Permafrost is degrading in high alpine areas, presumably due to global warming. This causes instabilities of slopes in mountainous areas. Differential synthetic aperture radar interferometry (D-InSAR) is a promising remote sensing technique which enables accuracies of millimeters for landslide monit...
