The 2010 Baja California, Mexico Earthquake: Crustal deformation detected by ALOS/PALSAR data
Crustal Deformation Observed by Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)Released: Apr. 9, 2010, Japanese version of this page Crustal Deformation by InSARA M=7.2 earthquake occurred in Baja California, Mexico on April 4, 2010. An interferometric analysis of the data acquired by the Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (PALSAR) onboard the Advanced Land Observation Satellite (ALOS) allows us to clarify spatial distribution of surface deformation associated with the earthquake.
