The European Ground Motion Service (EGMS) offers high-precision data on ground movements across Copernicus participating countries. This service leverages space-based remote sensing technology, specifically Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) from Sentinel-1, to detect and measure ground motion with millimeter accuracy. The data is updated annually, supporting diverse applications from infrastructure monitoring to urban planning and climate change research.

The International Permafrost Association (IPA) serves as a leading international organization dedicated to fostering permafrost research and disseminating critical information. It provides a centralized platform for accessing diverse data resources, publications, and educational materials related to permafrost science.

ArcticDEM is an NGA-NSF initiative providing high-resolution Digital Surface Models (DSM) of the Arctic. It leverages optical stereo imagery from Maxar satellites and open-source photogrammetry software to produce elevation data. This dataset supports accurate measurement of topographic change and environmental monitoring in remote polar regions.
