The Atacama Desert is a plateau located in South America, where ground surface deformation (uplift) was revealed by space-borne InSAR analysis on salt lakes, named Salars. These salars are located at about 4000-5000 m asl, in the Atofagasta region, in a hyperarid desert, one of the driest place on the Earth, and are characterized by saline detritic crust and efflorescences caused by water movement. The uplift revealed is probably related to the regional decrease of the permafrost elevation, which may contribute to an increase in the annual volume of incoming groundwater. In that area several flanks of inactive volcanoes show gravitational processes, which might also be related to the decadal diminution of the permafrost elevation.

Relatively to the Valle d’Aosta region test site, a space-borne analysis, using the DInSAR technique, was done using the ESA’s Grid Processing On-Demand (G-POD) service. The ASAR-Envisat dataset, available through the Virtual Archive 4 of ESA (by the Category-1A project, part of the ESA Geohazard Supersites initiative), was processed by using the G-POD service. The SAR dataset, made of 38 images acquired from ascending orbit (track 301) between June 2004 and November 2010, has been analyzed with the SBAS-DInSAR technique.
