Abstract
In situ instrumentation, including extensometers and global positioning systems (GPS), was also employed to measure the displacement of some locations in two levee sections, the London Avenue Canal levee and the V-line levee. A comparison of displacement is made between the in situ measurements and the results obtained from InSAR techniques. The comparison shows a good agreement in displacement trends, thus indicating the potential of remote sensing techniques to monitor the displacement of entire levee systems.
