Short summary
Ground movement can be measured from space by comparing satellite images acquired at different times using a technique known as InSAR. The InSAR Svalbard service provides baseline information on where and how the ground surface is moving, supporting geohazard management, land-use planning, and climate change adaptation, and helping assess impacts on infrastructure and human activities. While such services exist elsewhere, this is the first of its kind in the Arctic.
