Welcome to the home of Terrafirma,
an ESA GMES project aimed at saving lives, improving safety
and reducing economic loss by using the latest technology
to measure terrain motion from satellite radar data. Using
these data, and in conjunction with national geoscience
organisations, the project provides a pan-European ground
motion hazard information service in each of the 25 member
states of the EU.
Using an archive of satellite data acquired
800km above the Earth's surface it is possible to measure
and monitor terrain motion relating to:
- Subsidence
- Mining
- Tunnelling
- Flood risk
- Landslides
- Crustal deformation
- Volcanic deformation
We hope you find the information on this
site useful. If you would like to procure the services of
Terrafirma, or have any other questions, please contact
myself on ren@npagroup.com,
or indeed our national partner contacts as detailed in the
'Partners' page.
Ren Capes, Terrafirma
