Synthetic-Aperture Radar (SAR), Earth Observation, and Mapping
Synthetic-Aperture Radar (SAR) is becoming more widely available and increasingly part of Earth observation satellites.
New Satellite Technologies to Monitor Volcanoes and Earthquakes
One relatively new satellite is a small satellite system called the CubeSat Imaging Radar for Earth Sciences (CIRES).
Mapping Where Norway is Moving
Norway is using Copernicus Sentinel-1 data to detect ground movement across the country.
Using Satellite Data to Calculate Groundwater
A computer algorithm has been developed at Stanford University that allows researchers to determine groundwater levels using satellite imagery.
Detecting Surface Change and Avalanche Mapping
Due to the precise measurements take can be taking from InSAR, changes in land movements can be detected as small as a few millimeters.
