- 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 and the ESA Programme Board;
- 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
BY SPONSORING ESA Fringe 2026 YOU WILL:
- Position your organisation at Fringe 2026, a key international workshop bringing together the global InSAR research and development communities. Engage directly with scientists, mission experts, and technical specialists shaping the future of SAR interferometry and Earth Observation applications;
- Connect with researchers, academic groups, mission planners, industry professionals, and representatives from space agencies, all gathered in one place to exchange knowledge, share innovations, and explore future collaborations in the evolving InSAR and EO landscape;
- Participate in the planned InSAR-industry exhibition area, offering a unique platform to present technologies, products, and applications to an international audience of scientists, engineers, and decision-makers;
- Engage with the cutting edge of InSAR science and missions.
