InSAR Ground Motion Mapping in Support of Urban Resilience and Regional Landscape Planning

CURE project addressed the multidimensionality of urban resilience. The project’s App06 component demonstrated the utility of InSAR technology in supporting the assessment of geotechnical hazards in urban or post-mining environments. Results were obtained for two different areas and hazards with a potentially similar impact mechanism on exposed assets – buildings. Geotechnical risks were assessed for assets in Arkalochori, Crete, impacted by a displacement inflicted by the 2021 earthquake, and in Ostrava-Karvina post-mining landscape subjected to gradual ground displacements resulting from mining activity.
