Abstract
We give an overview of past work using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry (InSAR) to detect, observe and characterize sinkholes, present the advantages and disadvantages of using satellite-borne SARs for this application, and discuss the availability to the community of free and open SAR data. In particular, we discuss the planned NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission, a joint venture between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) currently being built for launch in 2022.

Capabilities, limitations and opportunities for studying sinkholes using synthetic aperture radar interferometry
We give an overview of past work using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry (InSAR) to detect, observe and characterize sinkholes, present the advantages and disadvantages of using satellite-borne SARs for this application, and discuss the availability to the community of free and open SAR data. In particular, we discuss the planned NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission, a joint venture between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) currently being built for launch in 2022.
