Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract This study focused on the assessment of marine Kazakhstan Kashagan oil field located in the Northern Caspian Sea. High-resolution COSMO-SkyMed (CSK) and medium-resolution Sentinel-1 (SNT1) satellite images acquired during 2018-2022 were used for persistent scatterer interferometric processing (PS-InSAR). Based on the measurements from ascending and descending satellite tracks, decomposition of line-of-sight measurements were applied to achieve vertical and horizontal deformations. The practical value and novelty of the present studies were to optimize and simplify monitoring and inspection activities for geohazard risk assessment of offshore petroleum and gas infrastructure in the Caspian Sea.
