InSAR can be used to measure tectonic deformation , for example ground movements due to earthquakes . It was first used for the 1992 Landers earthquake , but has since been utilised extensively for a wide variety of earthquakes all over the world . In particular the 1999 Izmit and 2003 Bam earthquakes were extensively studied . InSAR can also be used to monitor creep and strain accumulation on faults
