Overview

The interferometric radar, also known as georadar, is an advanced monitoring system designed to detect and measure slow movements in natural environments, such as rock instabilities and permafrost. Operating from a safe distance, it offers high-accuracy measurements of rock and ice deformation across extensive areas. This technology is particularly beneficial for monitoring glaciers and rock walls, providing early warnings for rock and ice falls, including volume estimation. With a range of up to 4 km and an areal coverage exceeding 5 km², the interferometric radar can detect sub-millimeter deformations and measure 2-D deformation vectors. Its autonomous power supply and rapid installation make it ideal for temporary operations, especially in alpine environments.
