#InSAR #DisasterRiskReduction #ISPRS2026

Groundwater & infrastructure: Subsidence in California or Spain’s Guadalentín Valley shows how over-extraction damages farmland, cities, and flood defences. InSAR makes the invisible visible.

Mining & tailings dams: InSAR highlights deformation at sites like Uzbekistan. Failures can release toxins, devastate ecosystems, and take lives. Many risks are preventable if we act early.

Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs): InSAR detected precursory deformation at South Lhonak Lake before its catastrophic 2023 flood. These events cascade far downstream. (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...)

Here are three examples from San Juan Province, Argentina, highlighted by #InSAR. These slow-moving landslides affect large, high-relief mountain slopes and demonstrate the value of regional-scale monitoring for identifying potential geohazards in remote areas where on-the-ground access is limited.

#InSAR is a proven technology for disaster risk reduction—and it scales. Examples like InSAR Norway insar.ngu.no and the European Ground Motion Service already provide billions of open measurements.

Why are we organizing this? To push forward a new initiative: making life-saving ground motion data available worldwide, especially where it’s needed most.

I guess I will be holding my breath until about 14:29 CET today. #NISAR #InSAR

I hope not! Let's stick to the Sun-synchronous, near-polar orbit plan 😅

Cool
