CATALYST Insights
For Monitoring Ground Displacement
Damage due to ground displacement related geohazards cost many of the world's economies more money than hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, and floods combined
Manage Risks
Climate change is accelerating the risk ground displacement poses to critical infrastructure around the world. Mitigate damage to your assets by monitoring this geohazard in near real-time.
Reliable Monitoring
CATALYST Insights taps into satellite radar (SAR) constellations to cost-effectively acquire near real-time millimeter-level measurements of ground displacement around your assets.
Actionable Intel
Flexible user interface and API makes it easy for business users and technology teams to access ground displacement measurements and alerts to augment their risk management solutions.
Trusted Scalable Solutions for Satellite Image Providers
Manage Growing Risks
Climate change related events, such as shrink-swell, coastal erosion and flooding are testing the safety limits of our declining infrastructure, exposing owners and the public to greater risk of costly downtime, repairs, and catastrophic failures.
- There have been an average of 5 to 6 tailings dam failures each year since 2000
- 46,154 or 7.5% of US bridges are structurally deficient and at a higher risk of damage and failure
- 5 million properties and nearby infrastructure are at risk of damage due to coal mine decommissioning in Europe
- 175% increase of notable failures at hydro-electric facilities between 1980-1999 and 2000-2020

UNESCO Ground Subsidence Risk Map
Check to see if your assets are at risk by viewing the latest interactive ground subsidence (ground displacement) risk map published by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) Land Subsidence International Initiative (LaSII).
What is Shrink-Swell?
Shrink-swell is one of the most costly geohazards in the world and occurs when moisture levels within clay-rich soils change causing uplift and subsidence, which can severely damage infrastructure, and buildings. Learn more by checking out some of the great research by the British Geological Survey (BGS).
