Abstract :
High-speed and large-volume computational capabilities have affected many branches of scientific research. Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) and its spatially dense, accurate deformation measurements have advanced studies of the Earth´s crust. The most important contributions are related to seismic and volcanic processes and the mapping of glacier and ice-sheet motions in the environmentally-sensitive and diagnostic polar regions
