Areas of Expertise: Radar Remote sensing for Geohazards

Associated Projects: COMET-LiCSAR

Yasser Maghsoudi is a Senior Lecturer in Radar Remote Sensing for Geohazards at the University of Exeter. His research focuses on advancing the use of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data for a broad spectrum of geohazard applications, including the monitoring of land deformation, the detection of sinkholes and slow-moving landslides, as well as studies of environmental change and the assessment of risks to critical infrastructure. More broadly, his work aims to develop innovative approaches in radar remote sensing that enhance our ability to observe, understand, and mitigate the impacts of natural and environmental hazards.

Before joining Exeter, Yasser was a staff member of the Centre for the Observation and Modelling of Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Tectonics (COMET) at the University of Leeds, where he led the development of a global ground deformation monitoring service called COMET-LiCSAR. This involved implementing an automated satellite-based processing system to deliver Sentinel-1 InSAR data for monitoring global tectonic and volcanic regions as well as geohazards
