Most studies focus on individual cities, but it would be more meaningful to address large urban agglomerations and consider the relevance of the regions within them. In addition, the commonly used linear fitting prediction methods cannot accurately capture the dynamic mechanisms of deformation. In this study, we proposed an automatic PS extraction method (named PS-SBAS-InSAR) that improves SBAS-InSAR to extract surface deformation and an Informer-based short-term surface deformation prediction method for case studies in 16 typical cities of the Yangtze River Delta (YRD). The results show that PS-SBAS-InSAR successfully extracted accurate surface deformation sequences of the YRD. During the period from January 2019 to January 2021, the YRD experienced a slight deformation with an average deformation rate within [\u22124, 4] mm\/year. Geographically neighboring cities may have associated deformation distributions and similar deformation trends, as indicated by average deformation rate maps and landscape metrics. Both types of deformation (i.e., subsidence\/uplift) tend to occur simultaneously, with specific areas of subsidence\/uplift occurring in close proximity to areas of concentrated deformation. The Informer model effectively captured the time-series variation in surface deformation, suggesting a slowdown of deformation over the next two months (February 2021\u2013March 2021). Our work contributes to a better understanding of changes and trends in large-scale surface deformation and provides useful methods for monitoring and predicting surface deformation in coastal areas.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15204942","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,12]],"date-time":"2023-10-12T12:46:13Z","timestamp":1697114773000},"page":"4942","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Large-Scale Surface Deformation Monitoring Using SBAS-InSAR and Intelligent Prediction in Typical Cities of Yangtze River Delta"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Rong","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Research Institute for Intelligent Autonomous Systems, Shanghai 201210, China"},{"name":"College of Surveying and Geo-Informatics, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"},{"name":"The Shanghai Key Laboratory of Space Mapping and Remote Sensing for Planetary Exploration, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yongjiu","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Research Institute for Intelligent Autonomous Systems, Shanghai 201210, China"},{"name":"College of Surveying and Geo-Informatics, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"},{"name":"The Shanghai Key Laboratory of Space Mapping and Remote Sensing for Planetary Exploration, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaohua","family":"Tong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Research Institute for Intelligent Autonomous Systems, Shanghai 201210, China"},{"name":"College of Surveying and Geo-Informatics, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"},{"name":"The Shanghai Key Laboratory of Space Mapping and Remote Sensing for Planetary Exploration, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7067-2388","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pengshuo","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Surveying and Geo-Informatics, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"},{"name":"The Shanghai Key Laboratory of Space Mapping and Remote Sensing for Planetary Exploration, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiafeng","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Surveying and Geo-Informatics, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"},{"name":"The Shanghai Key Laboratory of Space Mapping and Remote Sensing for Planetary Exploration, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Panli","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Surveying and Geo-Informatics, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"},{"name":"The Shanghai Key Laboratory of Space Mapping and Remote Sensing for Planetary Exploration, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoyan","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Surveying and Geo-Informatics, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"},{"name":"The Shanghai Key Laboratory of Space Mapping and Remote Sensing for Planetary Exploration, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mengrong","family":"Xi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Surveying and Geo-Informatics, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"},{"name":"The Shanghai Key Laboratory of Space Mapping and Remote Sensing for Planetary Exploration, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yi","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Surveying and Geo-Informatics, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"},{"name":"The Shanghai Key Laboratory of Space Mapping and Remote Sensing for Planetary Exploration, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"94","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rse.2013.08.038","article-title":"Land subsidence in central Mexico detected by ALOS InSAR time-series","volume":"140","author":"Chaussard","year":"2014","journal-title":"Remote Sens.
