# Sergey V. Samsonov, PhD

> Senior Research Scientist at Natural Resources Canada working on radar remote sensing of ground deformation (InSAR and DInSAR), deformation time-series analysis, geodesy, and geophysics. Developer of the MSBAS multidimensional time-series method and software, and founder of INSAR Corporation.

This is the personal academic homepage at insar.ca. It is a single page covering research interests, a pilot national-scale ground-deformation map of Canada, recent peer-reviewed papers, and a contact form. The commercial satellite ground-deformation monitoring service is a separate site at insarcorp.com.
