DEFORMATION MONITORING AT EUROPEAN SCALE: THE COPERNICUS GROUND MOTION SERVICE

Abstract. The Advanced Differential Interferometric SAR (A-DInSAR) technique is a class of powerful techniques to monitor ground motion. In the last two decades, A-DInSAR has undergone an important development in terms processing algorithms and capability wide areas. This been accompanied by increase Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data acquisition spaceborne sensors. An step forward was launch Copernicus Sentinel-1 constellation. based deformation services now technically feasible. paper describes some most features A-DInSAR. Then, it European Ground Motion Service (EGMS), part Land Monitoring Service, which represents unique initiative for performing monitoring on scale.
