Analysis of land surface movements
with the use of InSAR monitoring

InSAR stands for Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar. Satellites acquire images of the Earth's surface. Post-processing of these images allows for the analysis of the movements of land surface as well as various man-made objects related to surface infrastructure. Interferometric monitoring is a proven technique of mapping movements using radar images from satellites orbiting the Earth.
(e.g. >>Sentinel-1<< , TerraSAR-X, Radarsat-2, ALOS-2).

Course >>Basics of Satellite Radar Interferometry - InSAR<< is aimed at practical presentation of InSAR technology and familiarization of its participants with the latest trends in this subject. As part of the course, the project will be selected individually to the preferences of the course participants.

PSInSAR

An additional element of the course will be Persistent Scatterer Interferometry – PS InSAR. It allows you to analyze long-term movements with submillimetre accuracy. This method is mostly used to detect movements related to engineering structures monitoring (roads, bridges, dams), in oil and gas extraction areas or in landslide areas.


Postprocessing

As a substantial part of a project data Postprocessing will be also discussed. This is the stage that allows the engineer to assess the accuracy of the obtained results.
