This paper addresses the November 2013 Balochistan Earthquake. A co-seismic TerraSAR-X pair acquired in wide-swath ScanSAR mode has been used to derive two-dimensional deformation measurements (radar line-of-sight and azimuth direction) of the eastern part of the main M7.7 earthquake and the large M6.8 aftershock by correlating SAR amplitude images. Atmospheric and solid Earth tide corrections have been considered to achieve accuracy in the order of several centimeters. Correlation measurements from Landsat-8 images have been additionally estimated. The intention is to isolate vertical and horizontal components in order to obtain three-dimensional deformation measurements. Interferometric processing issues of ScanSAR data for non-stationary scenarios, specifically co-registration, are additionally discussed.
