Urban Resilience & Smart Cities: InSAR for City-Scale Monitoring

6 OCTOBER, 2025 Newsletter Urban Resilience & Smart Cities: InSAR for City-Scale In this Newsletter we would like to talk about how cities can become more resilient by using advanced satellite monitoring technologies. Urban resilience depends on anticipating and managing risks such as subsidence, infrastructure settlement, and natural hazards. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) provides

Monitoring Ground Stability in Geothermal Energy: An InSAR-Based Perspective

4 SEPTEMBER, 2025 Newsletter Monitoring Ground Stability in Geothermal Energy: An InSAR-Based Perspective Geothermal energy is increasingly recognized as a reliable, low-emission, and scalable contributor to the global energy transition. However, as the geothermal sector expands into new geological environments and urban-adjacent areas, the challenges of maintaining long-term reservoir performance and surface stability are becoming

Re-valorisation

28 FEBRUARY, 2025 Newsletter Re-valorisation In our last Newsletter we argued that closed mines represent a big and largely overlooked threat, which is essentially twofold: a) geotechnical stability of old tailings and waste dumps as well as the territories over the underground shafts and b) environmental contamination caused by residual acid and toxic materials or

InSAR Technique Improvement – Building Differential Deformation

17 DECEMBER, 2024 Newsletter InSAR: BUILDING DIFFERENTIAL DEFORMATION (BDD) The PSI technique can be used to monitor deformations over very wide areas. An example is given by the European coverage achieved by the European Ground Motion Service (EGMS). Starting from the EGMS datasets, GeoKinesia and the CTTC (Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya) have proposed
