Stability monitoring and analysis of submerged landslides in the Three Gorges Reservoir area based on time-series InSAR data and GNSS data

Precise landslide monitoring is crucial for understanding and mitigating their impact. The Three Gorges Dam has exacerbated landslides due to steep slopes and rising water levels. This study used ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 (2016–2017) and Sentinel-1A (2016–2018) data to monitor the Daping slope. Findings showed deformation rates of −86.3 mm/y (ALOS-2) and −62 mm/y (Sentinel-1A), confirmed by GNSS data. Analysis indicated that rainfall and water level fluctuations drive the Daping landslide, highlighting key factors influencing landslides in the Three Gorges region and their threats to life and property.
