About This Course

The Geohazard Monitoring with Earth Observation course provides an in-depth exploration of advanced earth observation techniques for monitoring and assessing geohazards such as landslides, subsidence, and glacier movements. This course is essential for professionals and researchers in geosciences, environmental monitoring, and disaster management. Key topics include:

  • Introduction to Remote Sensing: Fundamentals of remote sensing technologies and their applications in geohazard monitoring.
  • Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Techniques: Understanding SAR interferometry, tomography, and offset tracking for detecting and measuring ground deformation.
  • Multi-Temporal InSAR (MT-InSAR): Techniques for continuous monitoring of surface deformations with millimetre accuracy.
  • Case Studies: Analysis of real-world applications including monitoring of glaciers, landslides, and subsidence in various regions.
  • Data Integration and Analysis: Combining multi-source remote sensing data with ground-based observations for comprehensive geohazard assessment.

By the end of this course, participants will have the skills to apply advanced remote sensing techniques to monitor geohazards effectively and contribute to disaster prevention and risk management efforts.
