- To bring together the global InSAR research and development communities and facilitate international exchange between researchers and research groups;
- To present the Sentinel-1 mission status, algorithms and products;
- To present the BIOMASS mission status, algorithms, products and first science results;
- To review and assess the progress according to the recommendations voiced at Fringe 2023;
- To consult the scientific communities to prepare ESA for starting supporting science activities for Sentinel-1 FG/NG, BIOMASS, ROSE-L and Harmony in the InSAR domain.
Fringe 2026 is organised around:
- Papers and posters selected by the Scientific Committee;
- Round-table discussions with seed questions prepared by the session chairpersons and ESA.
- Atmosphere / Ionosphere science and applications
- Advances in InSAR/Polarimetric Interferometry/Tomography theory
- Applications of AI and machine learning
- BIOMASS and advances at P-band
- Bistatic and multi-static SAR (HARMONY and other missions)
- Data products, processing environments and operational services
- Displacements and deformations (InSAR for the built environment/infrastructure monitoring/subsidence)
- Earthquakes & tectonics / seismic hazards
- Future Missions
- Ice & Snow
- InSAR phase closure theory and applications
- Landslides, sinkholes & related hazards
- New Space InSAR
- Thematic mapping (eg. agriculture, land cover, forestry, etc)
- Geophysical parameter retrieval
- Volcanoes / volcanic hazards
- Multi-hazards
- Synergistic use of multi-mission SAR Interferometry
