Abstract

Tajikistan is an area characterized by several lakes created after rockfalls and moraine deposits collapsed due to its geographic position on the collisional area of the Euro-Asian and Indian tectonic plates. In 1911, a violent earthquake generated the Usoi dam, which led to the creation of Lake Sarez. The purpose of the article is to provide an overview of the ground deformation of the two landslides that affect and threaten the area of Lake Sarez exploiting the combination of two different techniques, the interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) method with the SqueeSAR approach and optical image analysis through the use of COSI-Corr software. The combination of these two techniques turned out to be useful and provide more information because InSAR method balances lack the optical analysis and vice versa giving the possibility to obtain a complete overview of the displacement of the area. Moreover, InSAR data have been used to reconstruct the geometry and depth of the sliding surface of a potential landslide that could affect the lake, generating a wave that could overtop the dam and affect the villages downstream.
