It is suitable for large-scale analyses and the detection of:

• landslides,
• subsidence/uplift phenomena,
• seismic faults,

It provides deformation data over large areas of interest (AOI), even exceeding 10,000 km². The lower area threshold is typically in the range of 50 to 100 km².

Who could benefit from such an analysis?

• The oil&gas sector: information about surface motion leads to a better understanding of the terrain and better co-ordination of production drilling. Further, during production, the possible risks to the local environment arising from extraction can be continuously monitored.
• The public administration for determining the rate of movements over a long time period and a large territory scale. Hazard maps are used, for example, for the updating of hydro-geological asset plans.
• The civil protection for understanding fault mechanisms, that are critical to earthquake forecasting.
• Research groups for studying ground movements over large areas.

Possible updating after 6 months – 1 year
