Abstract:In this study, we mapped the co-seismic deformation of the 2015 Mw 8.3 Illapel, Chile earthquake with multiple Sentinel-1A TOPS data frames from both ascending and descending geometries. To meet the requirement of very high co-registration precision, an improved spectral diversity method was proposed to correct the co-registration slope error in the azimuth direction induced by multiple Sentinel-1A TOPS data frames. All phase jumps that appear in the conventional processing method have been corrected after applying the proposed method. The 2D deformation fields in the east-west and vertical directions are also resolved by combing D-InSAR and Offset Tracking measurements. The results reveal that the east-west component dominated the 2D displacement, where up to 2 m displacement towards the west was measured in the coastal area. Vertical deformations ranging between -0.25 and 0.25 m were found. The 2D displacements imply the collision of the Nazca plate squeezed the coast, which shows good accordance with the geological background of the region.
