Study to implement disaster risk reduction using innovative data exploitation methods and space assets

The inexorable progress made in the past years in the field of Earth observation (EO) technologies offers a huge potential for innovation in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) applications. Interferometry processing of SAR data is one of the standard techniques for the detection, detailed characterisation and monitoring of surface motion caused by natural disasters. Yet the transfer of this technology progress to the user community needs to move forward in order to ensure that advancements in satellite technologies are transformed into services to be used by the community.

Integrating SAR interferometry and GNSS for studying tectonic processes in Indonesia

Indonesia is periodically affected by severe volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, which are geologically coupled to the convergence of the Australian tectonic plate beneath the Sunda Plate. SAR interferometry (InSAR) is a satellite technology based on radar sensors that can be used to support the study and modelling of terrain movements such as tectonic motions associated with faults, and volcanic processes related to magma movement. The main advantages of InSAR is the synoptic view of wide areas, and the periodic surveying that guarantees long-term monitoring and time series analysis.
