Deformations of the Earth's surface can be a threat to people and infrastructure. Therefore, spaceborne interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) is used to precisely measure ground motions for entire nations, e.g. Germany. Due to the unique capabilities of InSAR, the evolution of ground motions processes, e.g. subsidence and landslides, can be observedwithout the need of setting up instruments in the field. These informations are of high value for responsible authorities, science, industry and citizens.

Hyperspectral data in remote sensing is used to precisely identify and analyze materials and objects based on their spectral fingerprint. Due to the high spectral resolution, hyperspectral sensors provide very accurate and important information for scientific and economic applications

Analysis of space- and airborne multispectral- and multisensor data contribute significantly to the understanding of the earth surface and its dynamic processes. The applications range from geology, natural resources, soil, groundwater, geohazard assessment and earthquakes. The applications are developed in research projects and are used in national and international cooperations.

Radar remote sensing is a method of remote sensing that uses radar systems to detect and analyze the Earth's surface and other objects from a distance. Microwave or radio waves are emitted from a sensor, reflected by the surface, and then received back by the sensor. This technique makes it possible to obtain information about the structure, composition, and movement of objects.

Thermal remote sensing is a method of remote sensing that uses infrared radiation (heat radiation) to measure temperature differences on the Earth's surface or in the atmosphere.

Ongoing and completed projects in the field of remote sensing within the scientific infrastructure.
