Land Motion Surveys for Environmental Safety and Security
Case Study:
National Surveys of Land Subsidence
Case Studies:
Terra Motion have been generating national maps of subsidence using Sentinel-1 data since 2018, when our UK product gained international attention. Our average motion product of the Netherlands was one of the first country-wide surveys to be subject to academic peer review and was used by the Rijkswaterstraat as a layer in the Dutch national climate atlas.
​
We are able to perform complete national and regional surveys of subsidence at any location across the world using Sentinel-1 data. Our standard surveys are performed at 20m resolution and provide near 100% coverage over all urban and rural land cover types. No ground infrastructure, such as corner reflectors or CGPS networks, are required although the results can be easily adjusted if geodetic control is needed.
