Volcanic Eruption in the Galapagos Islands: Observed 28-Centimetre Soil Displacement
On May 23, 2015, the highest volcano in the Galapagos Islands, Wolf Volcano, erupted for the first time in 33 years. Using satellite imagery and radar interferometry, our team tried to determine whether the soil had moved specifically due to this eruption.
Can centimeter precision be achieved with affordable L1 receivers?
Most GNSS modules out there, designed for recreational use in everyday consumer devices, are GNSS-L1 modules. However, they do not necessarily offer the characteristics needed to establish the precise position of an object on the territory with an accuracy of just a few centimetres.
Can Geospatial Solutions Help Assess the Risks of a Mining Project?
There are many risks inherent to each steps of a mine lifecycle, and they are all quite different from one another. How can we better manage and especially evaluate these risks?
