Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a building constructed in a soft soil location. How do you think strong motion seismometers, surface wave arrays, and InSAR would collectively improve the building’s safety?
💡 Hint: Think about how each tool can help conditional planning.
After a strong earthquake, a city uses InSAR to detect ground displacements. What are the potential implications of this data for city planners?
💡 Hint: Consider how spatial data can guide urban infrastructure.
