Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to attend the 3rd BeGEO webinar entitled "InSAR and P-SBAS applications in Earth Sciences. The EarthConsole® platform for the assisted processing of large Earth Observation dataset" and organized in collaboration with the Italian Istituto per il Rilevamento Elettromagnetico dell'Ambiente (IREA-CNR, http://www.irea.cnr.it/) and Progressive Systems (https://progressivesystems.it/), the owner and operator of the EarthConsole® platform (https://earthconsole.eu/)

The webinar will be held on April 9, 2025, from 15:30 to 17:00 (CEST). You can register to the webinar by filling the following form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdpEFiRC391Fw7xBR5YKbHBkG5d7AivSDJLpJWGFaR9R5wkPQ/viewform?usp=dialog

Abstract
Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) is a powerful technique that allows for the analysis of Earth's surface motions caused by both natural and anthropogenic processes. However, the processing of large SAR datasets needs large in-house processing resources.
EarthConsole® is Progressive Systems' cloud-based platform that helps institutions, researchers, and developers create, test, and host applications and processors, enabling simplified access to Earth Observation data and processing services. By co-locating computing resources with data archives, the platform ensures faster and more efficient data processing. During the webinar we present an overview of the InSAR theory and show the application of the P-SBAS on-demand service for Sentinel-1 (2016–present) and ENVISAT (2002–2012) hosted on the EarthConsole® platform to produce time-series of incremental ground motions and maps of the average velocities. A particular focus will be given to the study of ground deformation caused by both natural and anthropogenic processes. A demonstration will guide participants through the request and practical use of the service, with a particular emphasis on the graphical user interface (GUI) and processing parameters. At the end of the webinar the attendants will be acquainted with the InSAR principles, as also with the procedure to request the P-SBAS service and process their own data on EarthConsole®.

Schedule
15:30:16:00 - Dr. Claudio De Luca, Researcher at IREA-CNR: Differential SAR Interferometry: Principles, techniques and applications.
16:00-16:20 - Massimo Orlandi, Engineer on Earth Observation projects (Progressive Systems): P-PRO On-Demand P-SBAS service: Live Demonstration
16:20-16:40 - Maddalena Iesué, Communication and Partnership Manager (Progressive Systems): How to request free access to the P-PRO On-Demand P-SBAS service and Overview of EarthConsole®
16:40-17:00 - Q&A section

Last but not least, upon request, Progressive Systems will provide each attendee with a one-week free trial, including up to 30 processing hours, to test the P-SBAS for Sentinel-1 on-demand service on EarthConsole®. Instructions for making the request will be given during the webinar.

See you soon online!

All the best,

The BeGEO Team
