Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) has the potential to revolutionize studies of seismic and volcanic hazards and damage assessment, the relationship between fluids in the crust and surface deformation, the dynamics of strain accumulation at tectonic plate boundaries, and the relationship between glacier dynamics and climate change. The strength of InSAR lies in its ability to provide observations of ground displacements with a precision of a few millimeters in images with 20 meter spatial resolution covering 100 km spatial extents. The primary goal of this project is the design and development of an archiving and processing facility for geodetic imaging with emphasis on the fusion of InSAR data products with other relevant data streams including real-time Global-Positioning System measurements and real-time seismological data. The facility will make the contents of the archive accessible to wide classes of geographically spearated users of heterogeneous ability with disparate needs. More? |
