Global Ground Motion Service

GGMS (Global Ground Motion Service) is a global, on-demand, platformed-based deformations monitoring service. Deformations analysis is performed using InSAR – Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar technology. The service produces a cloud of georeferenced points, each characterised by the deformation velocity and deformation time series over an observation period. The points are used to create deformations maps. This information serves as a basis for the analysis of deformation processes and risks associated with these deformations, the service is essential to infrastructures monitoring, civil protection, construction, civil engineering, insurance, mining, etc.

ADA (Active Deformation Area) map service allows an easy-to-use screening of the results of any InSAR analysis. It identifies the clusters of points that show deformation. The ADA service can be run using any type of InSAR result. A systematic processing of such products could provide a Europe-wide ADA maps.

DDM (Differential Deformation Map) service presents spatial differential deformations or spatial deformation gradients. This information is derived for any building or infrastructure of a significant size located in a given area of interest. The differential deformations are estimated starting from any InSAR-derived dataset. The DDM information is useful for managers and engineers in the construction industry as well as managers responsible for the safety and stability of different objects - large buildings and infrastructures.
