The EAGE Near Surface Geoscience Conference is renowned for bringing cutting-edge and cross-disciplinary technologies to the forefront of geoscience discussions, and this year’s edition is no exception. Among the highlights of the event is the “Satellite InSAR Data: Monitoring from Space” presented by Dr. Alessandro Ferretti, Chief Executive Officer of TRE ALTAMIRA (Italy). This 1-day programme resonates powerfully with the parallel meeting on Geohazards Assessment and Risk Mitigation, as well as with the multidisciplinary nature of the conference, bridging the gap between advanced satellite technologies and applied geoscience applications.

Why InSAR matters and what to expect from the course

Satellite radar data, particularly from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensors, have revolutionized surface deformation monitoring. Capable of measuring sub-centimetre ground displacements over vast areas and long timeframes, InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) is a game-changer for geohazards assessment, reservoir management, and environmental monitoring. These tools are no longer confined to specialized remote sensing teams—they are becoming indispensable across disciplines: from optimizing design and construction operations, to identifying at-risk locations and providing early warning for mining assets.

Ferretti’s course is designed with accessibility in mind, offering a clear, practical introduction to how InSAR works and its profound potential for real-world applications. In fact, InSAR is one of the most multidisciplinary technologies, with applications ranging from a reservoir in the Middle East, a volcano in Sicily, or coastal subsidence in the Netherlands. Attendees will benefit from case studies and experience sharing from diverse applications,
