Global Ground Motion Service
Global land and structures deformation on-demand service
WHAT IS GGMS?
GGMS (Global Ground Motion Service) is a global, on-demand,
platformed-based deformations monitoring service. Deformations analysis is performed
using InSAR – Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar technology. The service
produces a cloud of georeferenced points, each characterised by the deformation
velocity and deformation time series over an observation period. The points are used
to create deformations maps. This information serves as a basis for the analysis of
deformation processes and risks associated with these deformations, the service is
essential to infrastructures monitoring, civil protection, construction, civil
engineering, insurance, mining, etc.
ADA (Active Deformation Area) map service allows an easy-to-use
screening of the results of any InSAR analysis. It identifies the clusters of points
that show deformation. The ADA service can be run using any type of InSAR result. A
systematic processing of such products could provide a Europe-wide ADA maps.
DDM (Differential Deformation Map) service presents spatial
differential deformations or spatial deformation gradients. This information is
derived for any building or infrastructure of a significant size located in a given
area of interest. The differential deformations are estimated starting from any
InSAR-derived dataset. The DDM information is useful for managers and engineers in
the construction industry as well as managers responsible for the safety and
stability of different objects - large buildings and infrastructures.
HOW IT WORKS
Three simple steps
(1) Select an area or an object of interest on the map
(2) Specify period
(3)
Specify type of analysis
Receive a deformation report.
Should there be questions – a request can be sent on each step of the process.
