Webinar: Combining Ground Based Radar and InSAR for Monitoring Displacement
The ability to monitor large areas for slope stability and deformation is key for risk mitigation, especially in mining projects where safety is critical. A number of solutions for monitoring at different scales have emerged; how do stakeholders evaluate and combine these technologies for effective risk-mitigation actions?
Join 3vGeomatics‘ Jon Leighton and GroundProbe‘s Antonio Rocha for a live webinar that explores how and why ground-based radar and satellite-based InSAR can be complementary technologies used as part of a comprehensive geotechnical monitoring strategy.
This webinar will teach you how to get the most out of these two technologies. By integrating satellite-based InSAR with ground-based radar, stakeholders can leverage both technologies’ strengths to make better monitoring decisions.
Other Topics Covered During the Session:
- Understand the benefits and considerations of using InSAR and radar data to monitor ground deformation and slope stability across different use cases
- An overview of InSAR considerations and a suite of slope stability radar products
- How to best view InSAR and GB Radar data
- Real-world examples of monitoring applications using InSAR data

About the Presenters:
Jon Leighton
Director of Operations
3vGeomatics
Jon is an experienced InSAR professional with seven years of academic InSAR experience and 13 years of commercial InSAR experience with 3vG. Following his InSAR-focused master’s and doctoral degrees at the University of Nottingham, he worked as a postdoctoral research fellow and lecturer in InSAR and geodesy, joining 3vG in January 2012. Jon has processed and managed many varied InSAR projects, with applications ranging from oil and gas, open pit mining, landslides, pipelines, transport infrastructure, permafrost, and urban monitoring. Jon has conducted InSAR related fieldwork at sites in the US, South America and Africa, as well as many remote communities in the Canadian Arctic. Before academia, from 1989 to 2004, Jon had a fifteen-year career in the British Army as a geodetic surveyor, planning, conducting and managing fieldwork for major geodetic projects worldwide.
