The Living Planet Symposium, organized by the European Space Agency (ESA), is one of the most relevant international conferences on Earth observation. The event took place in Bonn (Germany), between May 23 and 27, 2022, bringing together thousands of participants from all over the planet at the World Conference Center.
New results obtained under the SARAI project were shown in the poster “Rapid identification of surface deformation processes in El Salvador using satellite Interferometric Synthetic-Aperture Radar”. The work was presented by the PhD student Juan Portela, who is supervised by Dr. Marta Béjar Pizarro (IGME-CSIC) and Dr. Alejandra Staller (UPM), and supported by the SARAI project and Training programme for Academic Staff (FPU19/03929) from the Government of Spain. The presented study focused on the delimitation of active deformation areas with semi-automated methods in El Salvador, using InSAR data.
