Summary
The ASI-NASA collaboration has fostered and matured scientific exploitation of
SAR data for earthquake, volcano, cyrosphere, and storm response as well as
natural hazard research
It has demonstrated
§  The information content of COSMOSkyMed data for generating new scientific
knowledge and improving our estimates of where response & recovery
resources are needed.
§  The strength of the automated InSAR analysis using the ARIA system, a ‘hybrid
cloud’ approach and large scale near-real time processing
§  The Importance of high spatial and temporal resolution of COSMOSkyMed for
providing new insights into natural phenomenon and hazard-related
deformation as well as damage assessment
We look forward to continued close cooperation between ASI and NASA in this
area of Earth Observations for the generation of scientific knowledge,
development of new capabilities, and the provision of actionable information to
people in need.
