Long-term satellite study over the London basin

London InSAR motion map

We have recently explored the use of large-scale, multi-temporal and multi-sensor imagery over the London basin, an area about 250 km-long, starting from 1992 up to date. This project was established as scope of an internship between the Imperial College London and TRE ALTAMIRA. By combining over 500 radar images from different satellites (i.e. ERS,…

SqueeSAR® measurements reveal clear, precursory movements of the ground months before the Maoxian landslide occurred. On 24 June 2017, a massive landslide hit a village in Maoxian county in Sichuan province, south-western China, destroying 40 homes and killing dozens of people (BBC news here). Authorities suggest the event was triggered by prevailing heavy rains. TRE…

The RATP renews its confidence in TRE ALTAMIRA

RATP satellite monitoring with TRE ALTAMIRA

ENGLISH We continue to apply our expertise to support the RATP (the public operator for the transport of Paris) in their efforts to ensure greater safety and security and network availability by using the most innovative satellite technology. Since 2012, the RATP is using TRE ALTAMIRA services to support the maintenance of their network. Benjamin…

The Hydrology Thematic Exploitation Platform

Change detection map of small water bodies in Costa Rica

We have generated new flood maps using SAR images in the framework of the Hydrology Thematic Exploitation Platform (TEP). The TEP for Hydrology is an ESA Portal providing large scale Earth Observation (EO) products and services customised for hydrological applications. TRE ALTAMIRA has developed an algorithm to obtain hydrological products (water mask, flood maps and…
