The most emblematic InSAR service, the European Ground Motion Service (EGMS), opens a wide range of new applications. However, for effective use of raw data, interpretation techniques and methods are required. This book presents interpretation protocols that can be applied to any InSAR data, as well as the most relevant technical aspects and boundaries of measurement points. Detailed case studies are reviewed to demonstrate points.
This book will be a valuable resource for remote sensing specialists, as well as non-specialists in geotechnics, geology and other geosciences who are looking to apply InSAR data techniques in their research.
- Provides user-oriented techniques for better understanding of the applications of InSAR and the European Ground Motion Service (EGMS)
- Features case studies based on manipulation of EGMS data, thus showing new applications of InSAR data interpretation
- Details InSAR and EGMS potential and limitations for the exploitation of InSAR data
Scientists and technicians, researchers and academics in the fields of geotechnics, geology, remote sensing, and other geosciences
