Tailings dam monitoring requires more than periodic inspections—it demands continuous, large-scale visibility of ground. However, traditional monitoring methods often lack the continuity and spatial coverage needed to deliver a complete understanding of ground behaviour. Historical datasets provide a continuous, high-resolution record of deformation, revealing trends that short-term monitoring cannot capture. Using satellite-based radar technology , InSAR (short for Interfer
