Can InSAR, combined with other datasets, help detect future risks? Our analysis shows continued significant displacements in Ventnor. While InSAR alone cannot establish if these movements are linked, it reveals critical long-term trends.

Back at my desk after a fantastic week at the annual Geological Remote Sensing Group (GRSG) conference, kindly hosted by European Space Agency - ESA. This year’s conference marks the end of my second year as Chairwoman of the GRSG, and it’s been an absolute privilege to bring together so many geological remote sensing experts to share knowledge and collaborate. Over the course of three days we covered a wide variety of topics - from mineral exploration and geohazards to advancements supporting the energy transition. A big thank you to our sponsors, including my own employer SatSense ,who’s generous support makes this event possible. I’d also like to thank all the presenters for delivering such insightful and engaging talks. Finally special shout outs to Anke Schickling, the ESA events team and of course the GRSG committee! #GRSG2024 #ESA #remotesensing #insar

We had a productive time at the Geological Remote Sensing Group (GRSG) Annual Conference at European Space Agency - ESA ESRIN, where our colleagues Jennifer Scoular and Nick Dodds represented SatSense. As Chair of the GRSG, Jennifer helped guide the event, while Nick presented our work on using InSAR for geothermal field and infrastructure monitoring - see pictures for more details. As a Silver Sponsor, we are pleased to support and engage with the geological remote sensing community. We look forward to building on the conversations and connections made throughout the conference. #GRSG #InSAR

Our Colleagues Jennifer Scoular and Nick Dodds will be heading to European Space Agency - ESA ESRIN next week for the 35th Annual Geological Remote Sensing Group (GRSG) conference. SatSense is a proud sponsor of the event.   Jennifer Scoular is the Chairwoman of the GRSG, a special interest group of The Geological Society of London and the Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society (RSPSoc). The aim of the group is to promote and advance the field of remote sensing for geological applications through encouraging innovative research, collaboration, and knowledge dissemination.   Nick Dodds will be presenting recent work on #geothermal field monitoring in the Energy Transition session. Meet our team to learn more about InSAR monitoring use cases for your assets/networks.    #GRSG #InSAR   

Continuing our series on high-resolution 🛰️ satellite radar data, our fourth post focuses on #InSAR applications for the #highways industry. Leveraging our high-resolution #InSAR data, we have identified subsidence signals at Thorney Interchange, a key motorway intersection between the #M4 and #M25. Our analysis reveals #subsidence trends of up to 13 mm since 2022, highlighting the challenges of building and maintaining infrastructure on historically unstable ground, such as old #landfill sites.   InSAR technology provides highways asset managers with critical insights, enabling them to: 📡 Monitor subsidence and ground movement with millimetre/year precision. 📡 Analyse historical ground movement trends, in some cases dating back decades. 📡 Prioritise maintenance efforts by remotely assessing large infrastructure networks. What are your biggest challenges when it comes to infrastructure monitoring? We’d love to hear your thoughts below. #M25 #M24 #London #Subsidence #RemoteSensing #geotechnical #TerraSAR-X #InSARData

Continuing our series on high-resolution 🛰️ satellite radar data, our third post focuses on its practical applications for water utility assets.   Our TerraSAR-X #InSAR data reveals ground movement of approximately 18 mm over three years at a reservoir in #Birmingham. While the cause requires further on-ground investigation, this example highlights how reservoir managers and water #utilities can monitor ground stability with millimetre/year precision.   Key benefits of high-resolution InSAR data for water utilities: 🛰️ Detects subtle ground movements with millimetre precision over large areas 🛰️ Provides access to historical data for trend analysis and proactive management 🛰️ Enables remote monitoring of entire networks, reducing the need for on-site inspections How do you think historical ground movement data could support your work? We’d love to hear your thoughts below. #InSAR #Geotechnical #SAR #WaterUtilities #AssetManagement #AssetSafety #GroundMovementMonitoring

We are proud to sponsor the Glossop Event 2024, hosted by the Engineering Group of the Geological Society (EGGS). Meet SatSense team members Nick Dodds and Ewan Bell to discuss #InSAR monitoring solutions for your asset/network monitoring needs. #EGGS #GeologicalSociety
