Preface Since the start of hydrocarbon production in the Netherlands, measurement campaigns have been performed to measure the resulting subsidence, to which gas and oil companies in the Netherlands are legally obliged. The majority of the gas fields in the Netherlands, including the Groningen gas field, are operated by Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij B.V. (NAM). Different subsidence measurement techniques (leveling, GPS) have been utilized since the 1960s. Synchronously, geodetic estimation methodologies have been developed to estimate subsidence due to hydrocarbon production from the measurements, in which the Delft Institute of Earth Observation and Space Systems (DEOS) has been closely involved. Since the 1990s, satellite radar interferometry (InSAR) as a deformation monitoring technique has developed. However, the situat
