Vertical land motion (VLM)
Groundwater extraction results in VLM (usually subsidence)Groundwater extraction in Perth increased ~1997Evidence of subsidence up to ~6 mm/yr from CGNSS

Why is it necessary to monitor VLM?Risk of damage to physical infrastructure
Houses/buildingsTransport infrastructure
Distortion and changes of AHD heights – Landgate is mandated to supply accurate heights
Benchmarks on vertical datum (AHD)Tide gauges in Earth-centred reference frame

Heights change over time
AUSGeoid09 will not deliver AHD correctly, because benchmarks are moving verticallyHAHD = h – AG09fitted – Δht (φ,λ,t)

Aims of the projectQuantify subsidence of the Perth Basin
including spatial and temporal variations
Combination of InSAR, CGNSS, repeat levellingInSAR delivers high spatial resolution over large area
Develop vertical velocity model for Perth regionprovide users with corrected transformation to AHD using GNSS
Correct tide gauge records for VLMFremantle is longest record in Southern Hemisphere

Few knew that Perth was sinking
Lack of dedicated geodetic monitoring system – we need data!
Two CGNSS stations (only since ~1993)Limited repeat GNSS observationsLittle repeat levellingFew archived InSAR images• 10 ERS• 12 Envisat I2• 11 Envisat I3• 21 ALOS PALSAR images, but cost $$$

The status quo – a lot more required
Now three CGNSS stationsExtracted 1970s levelling (black)Repeat levelling (red)

GNSS - GnangaraSubsidence correlates with increased water extractionAt this location for 1998-2012:
~-5 cm height change~-25 m water level change

GNSS - HillarysLots of discontinuities and noise in the time seriesComplicates estimating VLM trendsSubsidence makes TG observed sea level rise appear faster

InSAR introductionMultiple radar images from repeat passes of the same satellite Interferogram is formed by differencing images pixel-by-pixelMultiple interferograms stacked to compute VLM time series

InSAR preliminary resultsEnvisat I3 deformation map 2008-2009Contaminated by atmospheric signalShort time-series (1 year) and only 11 InSAR imagesPROBLEM: not enough data

Envisat data provided by European Space Agency (ESA)

InSAR preliminary resultsTerraSAR-X deformation map Oct 2012-April 201312 images, but acquisitions continuing until end of 2013
up to 36 imagesnot enough yet…

VLM by levellingAdvantages
High precision – proven for detecting VLMRepeatable along same traverseArchived data can extend back over time of deformation – data available, but in hardcopy
DisadvantagesLow spatial resolutionRelatively slow – usually low temporal resolution

Repeat levelling
Compare 1970s ΔH to 2011 re-levelled ΔH between Hillarys and Fremantle; Hillarys to Gnangara
E-W profile will compare 2013 re-levelling with 1970s ΔH
Re-levelling will be used to validate TerraSAR-Xand CGNSS time-series

The outlookPerth’s water shortage woes will continue, especially as our population increasesMonitoring of Perth’s subsidence needs serious and ongoing $$$ commitment over timeWe need lots of good data over a long time period:
more CGNSS stations dedicated to VLMmore InSAR [long, well sampled time-series – large image stack]Expand re-levelling program

The outlookCurrent project is funded by the Australian Research Council, Landgate, and Curtin University
Project ends December 2013Without additional funding, it will ceaseHeights in Perth will degrade over time
Ongoing monitoring and solutions to the problem are dependent on the project continuing…
