The first InSAR monitoring service at a continental scale We have come a long way since 1993, when the cover page of Nature magazine hosted a SAR interferogram mapping the ground displacement caused by an earthquake. Almost three decades later, the European Environmental Agency (EEA) initiated the first European Ground Motion Service (EGMS), and with…
The Sabah Sarawak Gas Pipeline (SSGP) is a 512 kilometre natural gas pipeline in Malaysia that links Kimanis in Sabah to Bintulu in Sarawak. The SSGP is part of Petronas’ Sabah–Sarawak Integrated Oil and Gas Project and was built between 2008 and 2014. Petronas is a global energy and solutions company ranked amongst the largest…
In 2017, TRE Altamira, in collaboration with Dewberry on behalf of the National Geodetic Survey with NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), used InSAR to study coastal subsidence over Hampton Roads in Virginia, USA (figure below), in order to explore the possible correlation between surface displacement and sea-level rise. In the initial study, the AOI…
Ground motion monitoring of Italian regions to prevent and mitigate natural disasters and support urban development Since 2014, and the launch of the first ESA Copernicus’ Sentinel-1A radar, and later, Sentinel-1B, TRE Altamira has joined forces with the Civil Protection Centre of the University of Florence, in order to detect and monitor ground motion and…
