Synthetic-Aperture Radar (SAR), Earth Observation, and Mapping
Synthetic-Aperture Radar (SAR) is becoming more widely available and increasingly part of Earth observation satellites.

One relatively new satellite is a small satellite system called the CubeSat Imaging Radar for Earth Sciences (CIRES).
Norway is using Copernicus Sentinel-1 data to detect ground movement across the country.
A computer algorithm has been developed at Stanford University that allows researchers to determine groundwater levels using satellite imagery.
Due to the precise measurements take can be taking from InSAR, changes in land movements can be detected as small as a few millimeters.
