Abstract By processing JERS-1/SAR data with a technique called Interferometric SAR (INSAR), we succeeded in quantifying cruatal movement due to the NW Kagoshima Prefecture Earthquake (M6.3) of March 26, 1997. These outcomes agree with the crustal movement obtained from a field survey.
It can be concluded that the observation data from JERS-1 SAR make it possible to quantitatively measure crustal movement due to earthquake.
