Interferometric synthetic aperture radar, abbreviated InSAR (or deprecated IfSAR), is a radar technique used in geodesy and remote sensing.

This geodetic method uses two or more synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images to generate maps of surface deformation or digital elevation, using differences in the phase of the waves returning to the satellite or aircraft.

The technique can potentially measure millimetre-scale changes in deformation over spans of days to years.

It has applications for geophysical monitoring of natural hazards, for example earthquakes, volcanoes and landslides, and in structural engineering, in particular monitoring of subsidence and structural stability.

A surveyor's shed showing equipment used for geomatics.

Geomatics is defined in the ISO/TC 211 series of standards as the "discipline concerned with the collection, distribution, storage, analysis, processing, presentation of geographic data or geographic information".

Under another definition, it consists of products, services and tools involved in the collection, integration and management of geographic (geospatial) data.

It is also known as geomatic(s) engineering (geodesy and geoinformatics engineering or geospatial engineering).

Surveying engineering was the widely used name for geomatic(s) engineering in the past.

Technology is the application of knowledge for achieving practical goals in a reproducible way.

The word technology can also mean the products resulting from such efforts, including both tangible tools such as utensils or machines, and intangible ones such as software.

Technology plays a critical role in science, engineering, and everyday life.

In simple terms, risk is the possibility of something bad happening.

Risk involves uncertainty about the effects/implications of an activity with respect to something that humans value (such as health, well-being, wealth, property or the environment), often focusing on negative, undesirable consequences.

Many different definitions have been proposed.

The international standard definition of risk for common understanding in different applications is “effect of uncertainty on objectives”.
