2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 From: Tamarah King <tamarah.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues, COMET (The Centre for Observation and Modelling of Earthquakes, Volcanoes, and Tectonics) invites you to the next instalment of our webinar series, viewable from the home office. Coming up: *Monitoring volcano deformation using InSAR data and machine learning* *Dr.** Pui Anantrasirichai *(University of Bristol) *Wednesday the 12th of May 2021 at 16:00 UK time* (3pm UTC / 5pm CEST / 8am PDT) *Please register at: * https://universityofleeds.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_DxYfAgfHQBiuPZYgMc_QNQ (After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information on how to join the webinar) *Abstract:* Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) can be used to measure ground displacement over large geographic areas. However, while detecting deformation using InSAR images is conceptually straightforward, it is difficult to automate, particularly in volcanic regions as atmospheric water vapor is a particular challenge. In this talk, a simple but efficient deep learning framework to detect ground deformation will be present. The model can be applied to individual interferograms for rapid deformations and can be tested on time-series for slow and sustained ones. The image processing techniques employed in the framework will also be discussed. Finally, the current detection results on global Sentinel data processed via LiCSAR system will be shown.
