What is InSAR?

InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) is a radar technique used in remote sensing to detect ground deformation. It combines two or more SAR images of the same area acquired at different times to measure changes on the Earth's surface. It is commonly used to monitor volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides, and subsidence.
