Surface movement, forming characteristic landforms such as rock glaciers, is one key indicator for mountain permafrost. Monitoring this movement can indicate ongoing changes in permafrost; therefore, rock glacier velocity (RGV) has recently been added as an ECV product. Despite the increased understanding of rock glacier dynamics in recent years, most observations are either limited in terms of the spatial coverage or temporal resolution. According to recent studies, Sentinel-1 (C-band) Differential SAR Interferometry (DInSAR) has potential for monitoring RGVs at high spatial and temporal resolutions. However, the suitability of DInSAR for the detection of heterogeneous small-scale spatial patterns of rock glacier velocities was never at the center of these studies. We address this shortcoming by generating and analyzing Sentinel-1 DInSAR time series over five years to detect small-scale displacement patterns of five high alpine permafrost environments located in the Central European Alps on a weekly basis at a range of a few millimeters. Our approach is based on a semi-automated procedure using open-source programs (SNAP, pyrate) and provides East-West displacement and elevation change with a ground sampling distance of 5 m. Comparison with annual movement derived from orthophotos and unpiloted aerial vehicle (UAV) data shows that DInSAR covers about one third of the total movement, which represents the proportion of the year suited for DInSAR, and shows good spatial agreement (Pearson R: 0.42\u20130.74, RMSE: 4.7\u201311.6 cm\/a) except for areas with phase unwrapping errors. Moreover, the DInSAR time series unveils spatio-temporal variations and distinct seasonal movement dynamics related to different drivers and processes as well as internal structures. Combining our approach with in situ observations could help to achieve a more holistic understanding of rock glacier dynamics and to assess the future evolution of permafrost under changing climatic conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15122982","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,8]],"date-time":"2023-06-08T02:02:28Z","timestamp":1686189748000},"page":"2982","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Deciphering Small-Scale Seasonal Surface Dynamics of Rock Glaciers in the Central European Alps Using DInSAR Time Series"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-9459-3725","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sebastian","family":"Buchelt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Geography, Institute of Geography and Geology, University of Wurzburg, D-97074 Wurzburg, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Remote Sensing, Institute of Geography and Geology, University of Wurzburg, D-97074 Wurzburg, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9448-9561","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jan Henrik","family":"Bl\u00f6the","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Environmental Social Sciences and Geography, University of Freiburg, D-79085 Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany"}]},{"given":"Claudia","family":"Kuenzer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Remote Sensing, Institute of Geography and Geology, University of Wurzburg, D-97074 Wurzburg, Germany"},{"name":"German Remote Sensing Data Center (DFD), German Aerospace Center (DLR), Muenchener Strasse 20, D-82234 Wessling, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0232-2666","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andreas","family":"Schmitt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geoinformatics Department, Munich University of Applied Sciences, Karlstra\u00dfe 6, D-80333 Munich, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6626-3052","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tobias","family":"Ullmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Remote Sensing, Institute of Geography and Geology, University of Wurzburg, D-97074 Wurzburg, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5065-0966","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marius","family":"Philipp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Remote Sensing, Institute of Geography and Geology, University of Wurzburg, D-97074 Wurzburg, Germany"}]},{"given":"Christof","family":"Kneisel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Geography, Institute of Geography and Geology, University of Wurzburg, D-97074 Wurzburg, Germany"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"French, H.M.
