We are currently working with other groups in Europe to bring over very new technologies that are not currently being utilized in North America.  A group from Italy (LiSALAB) has developed a ground based InSAR system (left) that can do repeat short interval scans of slopes up to a three kilometers away to generate deformation maps at a higher resolution and frequency than can be obtained from spaceborne InSAR.  Also, as this technique can be used at night and in fog, it has distinct advantages over laser techniques.  This technique has been used on volcanoes in Italy and the application shown is for a rock slide on a fjord in Western Norway.   The reflector shown on the right is for another ground based radar system used at another site in Western Norway artificial targets are used to monitor point source movements on a large rock slide.
