Mapping and characterization of unstable slopes with Sentinel-1 multi-geometry InSAR (activity line 2: public sector applications)

Abstract

This is a high-level report that summarizes the main achievements and results of the research and development conducted in the project “Mapping and Characterization of unstable slopes with Sentinel-1 multi-geometry InSAR (activity line 2: public sector applications)”, where multi-geometry Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) is used for improving characterization of unstable rock slopes in Norway.

In the project the objective was to demonstrate the added value of using higher-order InSAR-based earth observation (EO) products for landslide mapping and monitoring to the public sector in Norway, represented by the Geological Survey of Norway (NGU) and the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE).
