Abstract: Glacier deformation in Sedongpu basin from April 2018 to October 2018 is retrieved by SBAS-InSAR technology using 30 sentinel-1 SAR images. The inversion accuracy is verified with statistics in bedrock area and the RMSE is 9 mm. This shows that SBAS-InSAR technology has good reliability in glacier deformation monitoring.The sensibility of ascending and descending orbit data for deformation monitoring in different aspects is analyzed. Spatial distribution and temporal evolution characteristics of glacier deformation before the occurrence of glacier debris flow are analyzed. The main glacier movement is in the central axis along intersection of east and west aspects.The results shows that the average deformation of glacier area is -34.8 mm. On the typical section line, with the altitude decreasing, the glacier deformation decreases slowly at first, then increases rapidly, and then decreases slowly. Before the occurrence of glacial debris flow disaster, the glacier deformation had an obvious accelerating trend,which can provide scientific data support for early identification of glacier disaster.
