Abstract
The Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine collapsed on June 6th, 2023. This study uses multi-temporal Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (MT-InSAR) data from 2017 to 2023 to analyze pre-collapse dam deformations. Findings indicate movements on the south side of the dam, suggesting potential damage mechanisms. The study highlights the value of spaceborne monitoring for critical infrastructure.
