Satellite InSAR
Displacement & Deformation Monitoring
Detecting millimeter scale ground movement from space.
CurvAero provides satellite based displacement and deformation analysis using Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR). InSAR enables the detection of subtle surface movement across large areas without requiring continuous ground instrumentation.
Where ground stability is critical
Monitoring for sites that cannot afford to move
Our analyses can support infrastructure monitoring, mining operations, tailings facilities, landslide assessment, subsidence studies, construction monitoring, dams, geothermal fields, and other applications where ground stability is critical.

What we deliver
From satellite radar to millimeter scale answers
Displacement maps
Measured ground movement mapped across the area of interest over the monitoring period.
Hotspot identification
Areas moving faster than their surroundings, located and flagged for attention.
Deformation velocity analysis
Rates of movement, typically in millimeters per year, mapped across the site.
Trend and acceleration analysis
Whether deformation is steady or accelerating, read from its trend over time.
Time-series monitoring
The displacement history of each measurement point: when movement started and how it has developed.
GIS deliverables and technical reporting
Results delivered as GIS layers, with a technical report on the methods and findings.
PS-InSAR and SBAS processing
Persistent Scatterer and Small Baseline Subset processing, chosen to suit the site and the project.
