Are you investing in property that is not stable?

Buying property is a risky business, particularly if you know it is located in an area susceptible to geohazards. One such investor was told that a site within an area notorious for landslides was stable but had no way of measuring that without waiting months to accumulate survey data.

A retrospective DInSAR analysis using historical satellite data revealed that the site of interest had not suffered any mass movement in recent years and gave the client more confidence in the investment opportunity.
