About this position

The Arctic is warming rapidly, causing widespread permafrost thaw and associated ground deformation, instability and erosion. Monitoring these changes across vast and remote Arctic regions is challenging, yet understanding how the ground responds to permafrost degradation is increasingly important for assessing environmental change and risks to infrastructure and communities. Satellite radar interferometry (InSAR) provides a powerful means of measuring ground deformation from space. However, individual satellite missions have important limitations. Sentinel-1 operates at C-band and can lose me
