In this paper, an active landslide identification method combining InSAR technology and optical satellite remote sensing technology is proposed, and the method is successfully applied to the Three Parallel Rivers Region (TPRR) in the northwest of Yunnan Province, China. The results show that there are 442 landslides identified in the TPRR, and the fault zone is one of the important factors affecting the distribution of landslides in this region. In addition, 70% of the active landslides are distributed within 1 km on both sides of the fault zone. The larger the scale of the landslide, the closer the relationship between landslides and the fault zone. In this identification method, the overall landslide identification rate based on InSAR technology is 51.36%. The combination of Sentinel-1 and ALOS-2 data is beneficial to improve the active landslide identification rate of InSAR. In the northern region with large undulating terrain, shadows and overlaps occur easily. The southern area with gentle terrain is prone to the phenomenon where the scale of landslides is too small. Both phenomena are not conducive to the application of InSAR. Thus, in the central region, with moderate terrain and slope, the identification rate of active landslides based on InSAR is highest. The active landslide identification method proposed in this paper, which combines InSAR and optical satellite remote sensing technology, can integrate the respective advantages of the two technical methods, complement each other\u2019s limitations and deficiencies, reduce the missed identification of landslides, and improve the accuracy of active landslide inventory maps.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14195031","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,10]],"date-time":"2022-10-10T03:07:28Z","timestamp":1665371248000},"page":"5031","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Integration of Sentinel-1A, ALOS-2 and GF-1 Datasets for Identifying Landslides in the Three Parallel Rivers Region, China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9438-6850","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cong","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Evaluation and Utilization of Strategic Rare Metals and Rare Earth Resource Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, Sichuan Geological Survey, Chengdu 610081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1669-0195","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jingtao","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Evaluation and Utilization of Strategic Rare Metals and Rare Earth Resource Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, Sichuan Geological Survey, Chengdu 610081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Su","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Evaluation and Utilization of Strategic Rare Metals and Rare Earth Resource Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, Sichuan Geological Survey, Chengdu 610081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jihong","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Evaluation and Utilization of Strategic Rare Metals and Rare Earth Resource Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, Sichuan Geological Survey, Chengdu 610081, China"},{"name":"Sichuan Intelligent Geological Big Data Co., Ltd., Chengdu 610081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shengwu","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Evaluation and Utilization of Strategic Rare Metals and Rare Earth Resource Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, Sichuan Geological Survey, Chengdu 610081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Evaluation and Utilization of Strategic Rare Metals and Rare Earth Resource Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, Sichuan Geological Survey, Chengdu 610081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Evaluation and Utilization of Strategic Rare Metals and Rare Earth Resource Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, Sichuan Geological Survey, Chengdu 610081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaobo","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Evaluation and Utilization of Strategic Rare Metals and Rare Earth Resource Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, Sichuan Geological Survey, Chengdu 610081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3741-8801","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Weile","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Geohazard Prevention and Geoenvironment Protection, Chengdu University of Technology, Chengdu 610059, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"945824","DOI":"10.3389\/fevo.2022.945824","article-title":"Harmonizing and Searching Macroinvertebrate Trait Information in Alpine Streams: Method and Application\u2013A Case Study in the Three Parallel Rivers Region, China","volume":"10","author":"Ao","year":"2022","journal-title":"Front.
