Cover Story: Wuhan is an important city in Central China, whose rapid development has led to increasingly serious land subsidence over the last few decades. In this study, we used nearly 300 high-resolution COSMO-SkyMed StripMap HIMAGE scenes acquired in 2012–2019 to monitor the long-term subsidence process and reveal its spatiotemporal variations. By combining the sequence of settlement curves in the subsiding area, the relationship between natural factors (soft soil consolidation, rainfall), human factors (subway construction, new urbanization, groundwater pumping), and ground deformation was discussed in detail. Our work unveils previously unknown characters of land subsidence in Wuhan and its causative factors, and also shows the benefits of non-linear PSInSAR to study the temporal evolution of such processes in dynamic and expanding cities.
