Using sophisticated techniques like Differential Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (DInSAR) it is possible to monitor landslides, land subsidence and other geohazards at unprecedented scales. The results have now become available to the general public and to policymakers. This makes it possible to install early warning systems in endangered areas.

Session NH11.05 presents new developments and applications of the interferometric SAR technology for investigating natural hazard phenomena. Recently, advances of the Differential Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (DInSAR) technique has opened new perspectives for the investigation of different geophysical processes. DinSAR is capable of producing spatially dense deformation maps with centimeter to millimeter accuracy. 

Some examples of presentations during this session:
