Improving infrastructure risks using satellite radar (InSAR) monitoring with GNSS sensor systems

The objective of this project is to develop and test new methods to integrate next generation satellite radar (InSAR) monitoring for ground motion with Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) positioning devices. This will focus on test sites where the student will investigate the optimal methods for combining multi-satellite InSAR with a network of Kurloo GNSS devices to provide robust 3D ground motion monitoring from space. The potential benefits may include the development of near-real time 3D hazard monitoring for critical infrastructure, extending to pre-collapse alerts, thus reducing the risk of catastrophic events.
