SARAI Project

Towards a smart exploitation of land displacement data for the prevention and mitigation of geological-geotechnical risks.

PID2020-116540RB-C21 and PID2020-116540RB-C22 Projects funded by MCIN/ AEI /10.13039/501100011033

The field of satellite remote sensing applied to geohazards has experienced a major development in the last few years. In Europe, the EU’s Copernicus Programme has made a big effort to consolidate this field as an operative solution to monitor ground phenomena. This consolidation is confirmed by the forthcoming Copernicus European Ground Motion Service (EGMS), a European initiative aimed at providing yearly an updated ground displacement map of the whole of Europe, derived from time-series analyses of Sentinel-1 data (https://land.copernicus.eu/pan-european/ european-ground-motion-service). This will motivate not only the improvement of the exploitation of Sentinel-1 products but also the exploitation of the so-called high-resolution SAR images provided by constellations like the TerraSAR-X/PAZ (SAR Observation Spanish Satellite). The SARAI project will contribute to this framework by improving and developing different techniques of processing (subproject 1) and post-processing (subproject 2).
