Risk Analysis | Wide Area Monitoring
TRE ALTAMIRA was requested by the Regional Authority of Tuscany (Italy) to provide a risk mapping service over the whole country region.
Project partners
The Earth Science Department (DST) from the University of Florence, representing an expertise centre for the Italian Civil Protection Department. The DST provides expertise in InSAR results interpretation.
Regione Toscana, the Regional Government of Tuscany, funded the project and provides final users with InSAR results through their territory management tool.
This service takes advantage of freely available Sentinel-1 imagery, specifically designed for ground deformation monitoring over large areas and operated by ESA.
- Millions of measurement points are surveyed over the whole region.
- InSAR bulletins are delivered every 12 days in order to detect areas affected by movement acceleration or sudden trend variation.
- More in depth analysis can be conducted in local areas where critical points are detected.

Using our InSAR maps coupled with trend variation analyses, the DST provides the Regional Authority for each municipality/district with:
- Anomaly Map
- Number of anomalies
- Persistency of any anomaly
- Suggestions for action
As a final stage, InSAR results are integrated into Regione Toscana’s platform for a simple and intuitive access to information by local users.
