InSAR’s ability to track #groundmovements at scale with mm/year level precision can help #mineoperators and councils to constantly track legacy #mining sites for any abnormal movement. As an example, we analysed the #Golborne town for mining-related #groundmovement through our #InSAR data visualisation portal; #SatShop and found some interesting #groundmovement patterns: 🔵 As with quite a few #mining areas in the UK, the area is facing the impact of #groundwater movement causing the ground to #heave at a steady rate ⌛ The time history of movements shows a steady upward movement from 2015 onwards, the movement is over 100mm specifically in the #BankHeath area 🔴 And while the entire town’s ground is moving up, #Golborne Industrial Park near the ‘Bonk’ (the location for the former colliery) is showing signs of downward movement or #subsidence, indicated by the red points Over time, it is important to monitor legacy #mining sites for movement to assess and prevent any developing #hazards.
