Predicting the availability of measurement points provided by Multi-Temporal Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (MT-InSAR) poses a challenge due to a nonuniform distribution of Persistent Scatterers (PSs). This article introduces a novel method to estimate the availability

Dykes provide protection from the risk of flooding to approximately 60% of the Netherlands, by area. Unfortunately, most of the country’s major cities lie within this zone, placing a large proportion of the population at risk should these flood defences fail. In total the Netherl
...
Worldwide, transport infrastructure is increasingly vulnerable to aging-induced deterioration and climate-related hazards. Often, inspection and maintenance costs far exceed the available resources, and numerous assets lack any rigorous structural evaluation. Space-borne syntheti

The paper describes a study on the liquefaction potential of flood defences along the rivers running through the delta area of the Netherlands. The study concentrates on an area south of Rotterdam. The dykes used as primary flood defences protect an urban, rural, and industrial a

In western countries, thousands of infrastructure assets have exceeded their intended design life and need continuous monitoring. Space-borne Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radars (InSAR) are capable of wide-area monitoring, providing inexpensive and high-density measurements

Aged earthworks constitute a major proportion of European rail infrastructures, the re-placement and remediation of which poses a serious problem. Considering the scale of the networks involved, it is infeasible both in terms of track downtime and money to replace all of these as
...
A significant proportion of European rail networks are built upon earthworks that are over one hundred years old. These earthworks are under increased pressure as they have to contend with heavier and more frequent traffic, far outside the scope of their design. To compound this

Earthworks such as cuttings and embankments account for a major part of the entire transport network infrastructure. Large parts of that infrastructure in Europe are susceptible to a range of geohazards, landslides being the most prevalent. These landslides frequently result in d

Landslides cause hundreds of deaths and billions euros of damage to infrastructure and the environment each year. In order to predict the locations most susceptible to landslides, the field of landslide hazard assessment has gone through a massive development in the last twenty y
