Hazards

Geological hazards

The aims of this innovation project were to apply innovative satellite interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) techniques to monitor ground movement around critical infrastructure in Northern Ireland. It ultimately aimed at embedding this technology within the project partners, and generate a step-change in how the project partners gathered geotechnical data on ground deformation across their transport networks.
