SUMMARY It is important to develop a new method of effective and efficient monitoring of dams such as external deformation measurement of embankment dams. External deformations of nineteen rockfill dams in Japan using satellite SAR data were measured in about two years, and the results of external deformations using SAR data were compared with those by GPS or electro-optical survey data. We found that the results of external deformations using satellite SAR data agreed well with those by existing geodetic data and the average error of the external deformations between SAR and existing measurements was about five millimeters. Although external deformation monitoring of rockfill dams using satellite SAR data is generally accurate, it is important to pay attention to factors that cause reduction of the accuracy of satellite SAR based deformation monitoring such as ground surface vegetation. 817
