We obtain the co-seismic ground deformation field of the Mani M7.9 earthquake on November 8, 1997 through three-pass differential interferometric processing. Then we get the geometric and kinematics parameters of this event by the elastic half-space model and forward modeling with the InSAR data. The following results have been obtained: (i) The deformation fields on both sides of the seismogenic fault are affected by the co-seismic deformation field even in 110 km away from the fault. The loss of phase coherence belt caused by the zone of ground rupture crosses the image from east to west with a length of an area 110 km. (ii) The maximum horizontal displacement caused by the earthquake reaches 7.96 m. (iii) The earthquake fault can be divided into four parts, and the deformation field of the middle two parts is bigger than that of the other two, with lengths of 27 km and 37 km, respectively. And their average sliding values on the rupture surface are 6500 mm and 6000 mm, respectively, and their depths both are 35 km. The segment of 27 km length is the major rupture surface of this earthquake. The west part and the east part of the fault have lengths of 23 km and 26 km, respectively. The sliding value of the west one is 4000 mm and that of the east one is 5800 mm. They extend to depths of 20 km and 18 km, respectively.

Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (for short, InSAR) is a new kind of earth observation technology, which has obtained great development in recent ten years and has a great development potential and successful future. In this note, three typical regions with different physiognomies and terrains have been selected as study regions to extract their Digital Elevation Model (OEMs). Compared with the existing 1 : 250000 DEM and by analyzing their results, we have obtained its accuracy and applicable scopes. The results show that in the region (plains, mountains or highlands) with dry surface and sparse vegetation, because of the better correlatability of images, the DEM obtained by InSAR is evidently better than the existing 1 : 250000 DEM and the accuracy can reach 4-6m; in the thick-vegetation-covering region, correlatability between images descends and the accuracy of InSAR DEM can only reach about 30 m worse than its existing 1:250000 DEM; in the middle covering field, the accuracy of InSAR DEM
