🏔️ Turkey Landslide Case Study Tutorial

This tutorial provides complete, screenshot-guided instructions for every aspect of InSAR processing with InSARLite:

• Installation and setup (8 screenshots)

• Project configuration (14 screenshots)

• Baseline network design (9 screenshots)

• Interferogram generation (3 screenshots)

• Phase unwrapping (20 screenshots)

• SBAS analysis (6 screenshots)

• Results visualization (2 screenshots)

Processing real research data (60 Sentinel-1 acquisitions), this tutorial demonstrates InSARLite’s capabilities for detecting precursory deformation before catastrophic slope failures.
