Contributing missions and data access
ERS1,2 and Envisat
ESA is contributing data for all Supersites (permanent and candidates)
and for all Natural Laboratories. The data are available from ESA's virtual archives (VA)
archive4 and archive2. Some data are still missing because of ESA's limited
production capacity. To access missing data (raw, L0 format), please
send shopping cart files to supersites@unavco.org. We also welcome data
repatriations, donations of ESA data to the supersites. The data are available from
ESA's virtual archives (VA)
archive4 and
archive2.
Data Access. For archive4, register for the ESA Earth Observation single-sign on system using
this page.
For archive2 data, request to be added as a Co-PI to the
Geohazard Supersites Cat-1 project by e-mailing ESA's Earth Observation
help desk (eohelp@esa.int). Archive4 is a replacement for archive2, and
should contain all of the archive2 data.
TerraSAR-X
DLR provides data for the permanent Supersites and for event Supersites.
Data Access. (1) Permanent Supersites: Requires an approved project
through the DLR's TerraSAR-X Science Service system. Proposals
should be entitled "Data provision for GEO's Hawaii (or other)
Geohazard Supersite". The procedure is the same as for any DLR proposal
except that the data will be provided free of charge.
(2) Event Supersites: DLR and its commercial partner ASTRIUM infoterra
have been providing 3 month of data without restrictions for the
Tohoku-Oki and Van earthquakes. No restrictions but requires access
credentials to ESA's archive2 (see above). For details see M Eineder's
Fringe 2011 presentation.

UAVSAR
NASA is observing the Supersites and Natural Laboratories located along
the Pacific Rim (Japan to Chile) with the
airborne UAVSAR (Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar)
with frequent revisiting of the U.S.
Supersites (San Andreas Fault and Hawaii Supersite). For the coverage
see [link to UAVSAR Supersites webpage]. For a complete listing of
flight lines see
this page.
Data Access. UAVSAR data are openly available from (no password
required):

Cosmo-Skymed
The Italian Space Agency (ASI) is providing data for the Hawaii
Supersite (100 scenes/year).
Data Access. Data access requires an approved proposal with the Italian
Space Agency.
Radarsat-1
The Canadian Space Agency has contributed all these data for the
Hawaii Supersite.
Data Access. No restrictions but requires access credentials to ESA's
archive2 (see above).
ALOS-PALSAR
Jaxa has contributed 50 scenes for the Hawaii Supersite, and
selected scenes for event Supersites (27 scenes for the Tohoku-Oki
earthquake, 8 for Haiti and 6 for Chile).
Data Access. No restrictions but requires access credentials to ESA's
archive2 (see above). Users need to acknowledge the terms and condition for
the use of ALOS data.
Optical: Spot 4,5 Pleiades.
Images for specific event Supersites for events associated with
significant differential surface displacements.
Data Access. CNES is working on procedures for open data access. Users
with urgent data needs may directly contact Steven Hosford at CNES until
a permanent solution has been found.
JERS-1, Radarsat-2, RISAT-1, KOMPSAT-5
Data of these satellites are not yet available through the Supersites
but we are working on this.
