In this paper the method is strengthened by creating a robust processing chain, incorporating PSInSAR analysis together with algorithmic adaptations for Permanent Scatterer Candidates (PSCs) and Permanent Scatterers (PSs) selection. The processing chain, called PerSePHONE, was applied and validated in the geophysically active area of the Gulf of Corinth. The analysis indicated a clear subsidence trend in the north-eastern part of the gulf, with the maximum deformation of ~2.5 mm year-1 occurring in the region north of the Gulf of Alkyonides. The validity of the results was assessed against geophysical\/geological and geodetic studies conducted in the area, which include continuous seismic profiling data and GPS height measurements. All these observations converge to the same deformation pattern as the one derived by the PSInSAR technique.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s90100046","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,1,5]],"date-time":"2009-01-05T11:04:36Z","timestamp":1231153476000},"page":"46-55","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Permanent Scatterer InSAR Analysis and Validation in the Gulf of Corinth"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Panagiotis","family":"Elias","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Observatory of Athens, Institute of Space Applications and Remote Sensing, Vas.
