Abstract

The development of remote sensing techniques enables the application of new methods for monitoring the Earth’s surface almost on a daily basis. As a result, remote sensing has been intensively used, especially in the last decade, in the field of monitoring, and mitigation and prevention of natural and anthropogenic disasters. One of the fields that profits from combining remote sensing and in-situ data is monitoring surface displacements due to slope mass movement processes. Six partners have joined knowledge, expertise and technology in the framework of the European project called Integrated Interferometry and GNSS for Precision Survey (I2GPS) to develop a unique unit that combines two existing techniques – radar interferometry and GPS – and thus enables displacement monitoring in three dimensions. The landslide area above Koroška Bela near Jesenice was chosen for the testing of the developed unit.
