Here’s a glimpse into the applications you’ll explore:

• Subsidence Monitoring: From identifying subtle ground sinking in coastal regions and urban centers to monitoring the stability of critical infrastructure like dams and bridges, InSAR provides crucial insights for risk assessment and mitigation.
• Landslide Mapping and Monitoring: Learn how InSAR can detect subtle ground movements, enabling proactive hazard mapping and monitoring of unstable slopes.
• Energy Applications: Discover how InSAR contributes to safer and more sustainable energy practices. Monitor caprock integrity in carbon storage sites (CCS), track ground deformation related to underground gas storage (UGS), and provide useful information in geothermal energy projects.
• Oil and Gas Reservoir Monitoring: Explore how InSAR data can be used to monitor reservoir dynamics, track fluid extraction and injection processes, identify potential subsidence or uplift, and assess risks to well integrity.
• Mining Area Monitoring: InSAR plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and sustainability of mining operations. It helps monitor surface deformation around open-pit mines and underground workings, assess the stability of tailings dams and waste piles, and mitigate risks associated with subsidence and slope instability.

Beyond the fundamentals, this course delves into:

• Historical InSAR Archives: it will be shown how extensive archives of SAR imagery, dating back to 1992, can enable the investigation of long-term deformation trends and historical ground behavior.
• The Future of InSAR: you will get a glimpse into the latest advancements in InSAR technology, including new satellite missions with enhanced capabilities and cutting-edge data integration and visualization techniques.
