The ability to monitor large areas for slope stability and deformation is key for risk mitigation, especially in mining projects where safety is critical. A number of solutions for monitoring at different scales have emerged; how do stakeholders evaluate and combine these technologies for effective risk-mitigation actions?
Join 3vG's Jon Leighton and GroundProbe's Antonio Rocha for this on-demand webinar that explores how and why ground-based radar and satellite-based InSAR can be used as complimentary technologies, used as part of a comprehensive geotechnical monitoring strategy.
In this webinar, you'll learn how to get the best from these two technologies in unison. By integrating satellite-based InSAR with ground-based radar, stakeholders will be able to leverage the strengths of both technologies to make better monitoring decisions.
Key takeaways you can expect from this webinar:
- Understand the benefits and considerations of using InSAR and radar data to monitor ground deformation and slope stability across different use-cases
- An overview of InSAR considerations and a suite of slope stability radar products
- How to best view InSAR and GB Radar data
- Real-world examples of monitoring applications using InSAR data
