DESDynI Project Logo

DESDynI (Deformation, Ecosytem Structure and Dynamics of Ice) is a dedicated U.S. InSAR and LIDAR mission optimized for studying hazards and global environmental change.

Mission objectives:
  • Determine the likelihood of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides.
  • Predict the response of ice sheets to climate change and impact on the sea level.
  • Characterize the effects of changing climate and land use on species habitats and carbon budget.
  • Monitor the migration of fluids associated with hydrocarbon production and groundwater resources.
