This course introduces the principles and techniques used in Ground Motion Monitoring through Earth Observation (EO). Participants will gain an understanding of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology and how it is applied to detect and analyze ground displacement using Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI). The session covers key concepts such as SAR backscattering, geometric distortions, and processing methods using GMTSAR+STAMPS. This foundational course prepares participants for more advanced (Part II - May 2025; online) training on practical applications (Part III - July 2025; onsite) and analysis of ground motion data.
