Project summary and objectives:

Looking inside the Continents from Space (LiCS) is using data from the Sentinel-1 constellation to revolutionize our knowledge of how continents deform, how strain accumulates during the earthquake cycle, and how seismic hazard is distributed.  The project is combining satellite data with ground-based observations to map tectonic strain at high spatial resolution throughout the Alpine-Himalayan Belt and East African Rift, and using the results to inform new models of seismic hazard.  The data products will be made available via the EU Infrastructure project EPOS.

LiCS aims to build a comprehensive historical record of ground movement.
