Abstract
Satellite radar instruments deliver SAR data that are able to provide information on the magnitude of ground motions in range of centimeters. Such information is of extreme importance is assessing the consequences of natural or man-made disasters. Since earthquakes are occurring constantly and are not possible to predict it is recognized that any information on the size of this events is important for the local and national authorities responsible for mitigation of the post-event damages. In this research presented are the results obtained after processing two sets of SAR data along with other supplementary data in order to produce two interferometric images that provide information on the deformation processes after several earthquakes that took place on the Ionian shore of Albania in the second half of November 2019. The resulting deformation maps from ascending and descending orbits of the Sentinel1 satellite mission were compared to increase the reliability of the conclusions made upon them. The outcomes reported suggest that it would be possible to deliver to the national authorities details on deformation in regions that are problematical to inspect directly.
