Short summary
We studied and mapped the ground deformation in Catania plain in Italy using artificial intelligence techniques applied to displacement time series of Sentinel-1 satellites. We estimated the dates when the velocities of displacement time series changed. We observed significant land subsidence in the south part of Catania Airport and showed how the precipitation cycles and trend change had a potential impact on ground deformation.
