Global Ground Motion Service (GGMS) =================================== **Global Ground Motion Service (GGMS)** is a global, on‑demand, platform‑based ground‑deformation monitoring service provided by GeoKinesia and deployed on the Destination Earth platform. GGMS transforms satellite radar data into actionable geotechnical insights, supporting informed decision‑making for infrastructures and habitats safety, risk management and environmental monitoring. The service is based on **Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR)** technology and delivers consistent, large‑scale deformation measurements with millimetre‑level sensitivity. GGMS is designed to be cost‑effective, scalable, and easy to use, without requiring users to have prior expertise in satellite radar data processing. What GGMS Delivers ------------------ GGMS produces a dense cloud of georeferenced measurement points, each characterised by: - Average deformation velocity over the observation period - Full deformation time series These points are used to generate deformation maps that reveal spatial patterns and temporal evolution of ground motion. The results form the basis for analysing deformation processes and assessing risks related to subsidence, uplift, slope instability, and structural movement. GGMS outputs are applicable across a wide range of sectors, including infrastructure monitoring, civil protection, construction and civil engineering, insurance, mining, energy, and land‑use planning etc. How it works ------------ The GGMS workflow follows a simple, expert‑supported process: 1. **Sign up**. 2. **Select an area**. 3. **Specify what service – Deformation monitoring, ADA or DDM – is needed**. 4. **Receive results**. At every stage of the workflow, GeoKinesia experts are available to assist users, ensuring correct use of the technology and reliable interpretation of results. Standard Pilot and Operational Use ---------------------------------- GGMS can be explored through a **standard pilot** with limited scope, allowing users to: - Evaluate data quality and coverage. - Test the relevance of the service for specific use cases. - Become familiar with outputs and interpretation. The pilot phase carries no obligation and allows users to transition smoothly to operational monitoring once value has been demonstrated. Destination Earth Context ------------------------- GGMS is delivered on the **Destination Earth (DestinE)** platform, a European Union initiative developing high‑precision Digital Twins of the Earth to support policy‑making, climate resilience, and risk management. DestinE is implemented by the European Space Agency (ESA), the European Centre for Medium‑Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), and EUMETSAT.
