The invention relates to a land subsidence measurement technology, in particular to a monitoring method for land subsidence. The method comprises the following steps of: 1, SAR data selection, and preparation of external DEM and precision orbit data; 1.1, removing an interference phase component caused by topographic relief, and preparing external DEM data of a corresponding region; 1.2, acquiringprecision orbit data along with an SAR image; 2, processing of the SAR data; 2.1, data preprocessing, thus obtaining an SAR image which is focused data in a single-look complex format *.SLC, whereinthe SLC data comprises echo intensity and time delay information of SAR signals in each resolution unit on the ground; 3, data comparing and analyzing; 3.1, comparing an SAR data surface deformation result with a precise leveling result; and 4, determination of a new method: 4.1, supplementing field on-site monitoring points according to an InSAR image data interference analysis result.
