The new \"PyRate\" software is open source    Python software for collating and analysing Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar    (InSAR) displacement time series data.  <\/p>\n<p>    InSAR is a non-invasive geodetic method that detects changes in    the height of the Earth's surface using remotely-sensed    satellite imagery. This is a highly accurate satellite    monitoring technique that uses two or more Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images of an    area to identify patterns of surface movement over time.  <\/p>\n<p>    By monitoring movements of the Earth's surface, scientists can    improve their understanding of how the Earth's crust changes    over time, including changes in elevation caused by larger    earthquakes and potential land subsidence caused by human    activities such as groundwater and resource extraction.  <\/p>\n<p>    The new software builds upon a Python-language translation of    the University of -RATE software. This provides a portable    and free solution that is scalable from desktop machines for    small area processing to large multi-node super computers for    conducting regional or continental-scale analyses.  <\/p>\n<p>    The new software will enable Geoscience Australia to scale up    its InSAR processing capability to run on the Australian    National University's National Computational Infrastructure facility super    computer. It will also support other scientists to make use    of the ever expanding Australian national archive of Sentinel-1    SAR data available via the Copernicus    Australia data hub, particularly for InSAR time series    analysis.  <\/p>\n<p>    The new PyRate software will be applied to data obtained for a    number of existing Geoscience Australia projects, including    InSAR monitoring in Queensland's Surat Basin and in the Macarthur region, south of Sydney.  <\/p>\n<p>    The PyRate version 0.2.0 software is available through Github and via PyPI, the python package index, with additional    supporting documentation provided.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Link:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gim-international.com\/content\/news\/new-open-source-software-strengthens-satellite-geodesy-capability\" title=\"New Open Source Software Strengthens Satellite Geodesy Capability - GIM International (press release) (subscription) (blog)\">New Open Source Software Strengthens Satellite Geodesy Capability - GIM International (press release) (subscription) (blog)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Scientists from Geoscience Australia have released new software that will improve the ability to process big remotely-sensed satellite datasets.
