Cangzhou is located in the northeast part of the North China Plain; here, groundwater is the main water source for production and living. Due to the serious regional land subsidence caused by long-term overexploitation of groundwater, the monitoring of land subsidence in this area is significant. In this paper, we used the Small Baseline Subsets Interferometric Point Target Analysis (SBAS-IPTA) technique to process the Envisat-ASAR, Radarsat-2, and Sentinel-1A data and obtained the land subsidence of Cangzhou from 2004 to 2020. Additionally, we obtained winter wheat distribution information in Cangzhou using the Pixel Information Expert Engine (PIE-Engine) remote sensing cloud platform. On this basis, we analyzed the relationship between ground water level, winter wheat planting area, and the response of land subsidence according to the land use type and groundwater level monitoring data near the winter wheat growing area. The results show that during 2004–2020, the average annual subsidence rate of many places in Cangzhou was higher than 30 mm/year, and the maximum subsidence rate was 115 mm/year in 2012. From 2004 to 2020, the area of the subsidence funnel showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. In 2020, the subsidence funnel area reached 6.9 × 103 km2. The winter wheat planting area in the urban area showed a trend of first decreasing, then increasing and then decreasing, and it accounted for a large proportion in the funnel area. At the same time, we studied the relationship between the land subsidence rate and the water level at different burial depths and the response of winter wheat planting area. The results showed that the change of confined water level had a stronger response with the other two variables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
