Ground Motion Service

Ground Motion Service is based on Satellite based information and its application on interferometry^[1]. This allows to provide a service for sub millimeter measurements ground level rise of decline^[2].

Status of Learning Resource

pre-alpha-Version started at the UN-SPIDER event on "International Cooperation Towards Low-Emission abd Resilient Society".

Areas of Application

rise of ground level due to use of geothermic energy.
decline of ground level due to mining activity
shift of digital elevation model due to earth quakes or vulcanic activities (e.g. relevant for early warning or Risk Management).

Learning Task

Diagram showing the sea level rise

Identify costal areas in which the ground level declines.
Identify the causes for the decline of the decline of ground level
- Mining,
- Erosion,
- Exploitation of ground water resources,
- ...
Analyse the consequences of sea level rise due to Climate Change and decribe the consequences of densely populated costal regions.
