University of Miami Geodesy Laboratory

Welcome to the Geodesy Laboratory under the direction of professor Falk Amelung.  In our research we use geodetic data derived from satellite Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) to study crustal deformation processes.   We study active volcanoes, active tectonics, glacial isostatic adjustment and land subsidence, including due to anthropogenic activties.


The research of our group is supported by NASA, the  National Science Foundation (NSF), the United States Geological Survey and the Department of Energy (DOE).
