Shifting SAR Interferometry from Measurement to Interpretation and Action. - 2026_CDR_DABC_5

Satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) enables monitoring of nonlinear ground deformation with millimetre-level precision and high spatial and temporal resolution. It supports the observation of natural and anthropogenic assets, where slow ground motion may accumulate and lead to subsidence, slope failures, and structural damage. This research addresses the shift from measurement to interpretation and action through: (1) consolidation of InSAR processing schemes; (2) fusion of InSAR products with external data sources across multiple spatial scales; and (3) translation of interpreted deformation into a risk context, enabling retrospective and multi-scenario anticipatory risk assessment with quantified uncertainty. Feedback loops support progress towards higher Technology Readiness Levels and practical, risk-aware action options.
