Dhanbad district, Jharkhand, India . Coal fires resulting in land subsidence associated with roof SIGNIFICANCE collapse is the primary environmental hazard in this coal . It is the largest and one of the oldest (since field 1894) coal mines in India . Due to subsidence, crack appear It lets oxygen in helping in . One of the most densely populated combustion of coal and further increasing the subsidence. coalfields in the world . Known as the exclusive storehouse of prime coking coal in the country METHODOLOGY SNAP DHANBAD Subsidence detection and pre-processing for StaMPS analysis JHARIA StaMPS Persistent scatterer Time Series analysis TRAIN Atmospheric correction using GACOS model 2 VELOCITY MAPS AFTER VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL NOV 2017-APR 2018 (PHASE I) GACOS CORRECTION DECOMPOSITION . Velocity maps are derived for both 100 the directions and decomposed yr into vertical and horizontal 50 components . Results show subsidence velocity 0 of up to 140 mm/yr -50 . 12 out of the 21 collieries are affected by the subsidence -100 Deformation velocity in mm/ velocity Deformation COLLIERIES AFFECTED BY SUBSIDENCE DHANBAD JHARIA 3 VELOCITY MAPS AFTER VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL NOV 2018-APR 2019 (PHASE II) GACOS CORRECTION DECOMPOSITION . 100 Results show subsidence velocity of up to 160 mm/yr yr 50 .
