Geohazards & Monitoring Project Center

Detects and assesses geohazards in energy project areas β€” landslides, subsidence, and induced seismicity β€” using InSAR-based deformation data and slope-stability modeling, and designs/validates early-warning systems and traffic-light protocols through simulation.
