Abstract Surface displacement resulting from seasonal freezing bulge and thawing subsidence constitutes a main
hazard to engineering construction of permafrost regions, especially to the Qinghai-Tibet railway. One of the main
problems that the Qinghai-Tibet railway encounters is the effective detection of the displacement field. The
interferometric SAR technique has the capability for measuring ground deformation in a wide range of application.
PALSAR can keep high coherence in interferometry over non-urban areas, thus very suitable for analyzing
deformation over permafrost regions of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. This paper presents the method of PALSAR
interferometry for analyzing ground surface displacement. The proposed technique was implemented by using ENVISAT
ASAR images to detect the deformation over permafrost regions of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the results are in
accordance with the results obtained by a traditional ground leveling method. Such an achievement encourages
future utilization of PALSAR interferometry to analyze deformation of the frozen earth in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
