International audience High-latitude permafrost regions store vast amounts of organic carbon. Temperature increase induces thaw of the frozen grounds, facilitating the microbial decomposition and the conversion of soil organic carbon into the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and methane, that represents a positive feedback effect that might accelerate climate change. The thawing is restricted to some meters below the top layer of soil and a permafrost layer remains frozen below the surface. In such areas, the top layer of soil that thaws during the summer and freezes in winter -known as the active layer- warms up enough to enable plants to grow during the spring and summer. For an accurate assessment of the carbon transfers, the active layer thickness over different soils and surface types needs to be known, as well as the dynamics of soil moisture during the annual freeze/thaw cycle. In this paper, SAR polarimetric differential interferometry is employed to follows the surface deformation during a whole freeze/thaw cycle, as it is an indicator of the active layer thickness and of the hydrological transfers. Time series of X-Band SAR data has been acquired over a site in the region of Yakutsk (Central Siberia) with a 11 day time revisit. A specific D-InSAR [1,2] approach has been developed to estimate the temporal trend of deformation affecting the periglacial environment.
