INSAR.No: A National Insar Deformation Mapping/Monitoring Service In Norway -- From Concept To Operations

InSAR Norway, a public national ground motion service, based on Copernicus Sentinel-1 data, was launched in November 2018. The service provides regularly updated ground motion time series on over two billion locations in Norway. The service provides this data freely and openly to all interested users, through a web browser interface. Within the government, this data in instrumental for landslide hazard and risk assessment as well as monitoring. Other applications include evaluation of urban subsidence and infrastructure monitoring. Many scientific applications also benefit, such as in the fields of geomorphology and geodesy.InSAR Norway is operated by the Geological Survey of Norway, with cofunding from the Norwegian Space Centre and the Norwegian Water and Energy Directorate. Processing is done on a high-performance computing cluster (HPCC) using software developed by the KSAT-GMS partnership (NORCE – formerly NORUT, PPO.labs and Kongsberg Satellite Services).
