Wide area map initiative of Terrafirma
• Traditionally InSAR analysis of local area or of single
phenomena = inefficient
• Advanced algorithms to process full image data
frames rapidly and allow multiple applications of data
• Methodology will be applicable to Sentinel-1 data to
allow rapid wide area motion maps to be produced
• Method for integrating multiple track datasets into a
single motion map
• Resulting datasets can be freely viewed
• Resulting datasets can be used for multiple
applications of InSAR to Geo Hazards
• To allow continental scale and future worldwide
ground motion dataset
Process large land-masses as one dataset – one dataset ….. many applications

InSAR motion mapping applied to GeoHazards
Landslides
Tectonics
Volcanics
• Wide area map for survey & ongoing local studies
with VHR SAR
• Wide area ground motion data – strain data for EPOS
and GEM etc
• Volcano inflation
• Mining induced subsidence
Mine subsidence
Karst Geology
• Abandoned mine re-watering uplift
• Karst Geology – sink hole formation
• Dike stability
Flooding
• Subsidence monitoring of flood prone areas
Many applications can be served from one InSAR ground motion dataset
