Monitoring of Ground Movement and Groundwater Changes in London Using InSAR and GRACE (2020)
Journal Article
Agarwal, V., Kumar, A., L. Gomes, R., & Marsh, S. (2020). Monitoring of Ground Movement and Groundwater Changes in London Using InSAR and GRACE. Applied Sciences, 10(23), 1-21. https://doi.org/10.3390/app10238599

Groundwater-induced land movement can cause damage to property and resources, thus its monitoring is very important for the safety and economics of a city. London is a heavily built-up urban area and relies largely on its groundwater resource and thu...
