geotechnical engineers, surveyors, planners and managers are data scientists with access to remote and local sensing data. InSAR data and derived information can be used to manage asset risks in mines and tailings storage facilities – whether operational or closed.
This places new demands on engineers’ technical understanding since the InSAR data shows that everything in the mine is moving continuously.
By inspecting the InSAR data routinely, and detecting patterns of the surface deformation associated with patterns in use of the mine’s infrastructure, early detection of problems comes within grasp and risk can be mitigated more effectively.
Separating the geotechnically relevant signal from geotechnically irrelevant noise. Understanding of remote sensing data sets becomes a strategic enabler.
This technical workshop provides participants with an understanding of optical, SAR and InSAR remote sensing measurements and deployment for asset/risk management, including many practical cases in 12 modules.
The modules will include hands-on lab work.
