Slow Ground Movement Detection

Detecting Landslides and Mine Subsidence

Slow ground movement is when the ground moves small amounts over a period of days, weeks, or months rather than something that happens more rapidly over minutes. It is difficult to notice slow ground movements because they occur so slowly. We are using satellite data to detect and monitor slow ground movements as small as a few millimetres. Our work focuses on ground movement associated with landslides, abandoned coal mines, oil sands mines, and oil and gas activities.
