On 7 January 2025, an Mw 7.0 earthquake struck Dingri County, Shigatse, Tibet. This was the largest event in the region in recent years. Analysis of the Dingri earthquake is urgent for understanding the coseismic slip and early postseismic deformation characteristics. In this study, the coseismic characteristics were analyzed by using Lutan-1 and Sentinel-1 data with the Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar method, and then the Okada elastic half-space dislocation model was used to invert the coseismic slip distribution of the seismogenic fault. The postseismic characteristics were analyzed by Sentinel-1 ascending and descending orbits, then time-series deformation results were obtained with the Small Baseline Subset InSAR method. The main results are as follows: (1) The maximum coseismic subsidence is −2.03 m and the maximum coseismic uplift is 0.68 m, the coseismic deformation is concentrated on the west side of the new rupture trace generated by the coseismic events; (2) the ruptured fault is dominated by normal faulting with a minor strike-slip component, and the slip is mainly distributed at depths of 0–15 km, with a maximum slip of about 3.97 m; (3) the deformation characteristics of the fault in the postseismic stage are basically consistent with those during the coseismic stage. The research results play an important role in understanding the earthquake fault tectonic activities.

Surface subsidence has grown to be a major geological problem for big and medium-sized cities in the context of urbanization and climate change. Changchun, a city of moderate size and rapid development, was chosen as the study region for this project. The Enhanced Permanent Scatterer Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (E-PS-InSAR) technique was used based on Sentinel-1A imagery to gather time-series surface deformation information in order to perform long-term, high-precision monitoring and a mechanistic study of surface deformation in urban–rural integration areas. Subsequently, temperature and land-use type data were then integrated for a thorough investigation using techniques including correlation analysis and functional fitting. The following are the primary conclusions: (1) The E-PS-InSAR technique integrating both PS and DS targets can significantly improve the density of monitoring points compared to traditional methods, providing the complete spatial coverage. (2) Changchun has an average annual subsidence rate of −0.14 mm and an average cumulative subsidence of −0.08 mm. The highest cumulative subsidence is up to −41.31 mm, and the maximum subsidence rate is −17.27 mm/yr. (3) Surface subsidence was correlated with land use types, and cultivated land was the primary contributor to subsidence. (4) Surface subsidence exhibits distinct seasonal fluctuations, and climatic factors exhibit a lagged influence on surface subsidence. These results are crucial for safe infrastructure operation, urban planning, and promptly preventing geological dangers in mid-sized cities.
