Laboratory for Deformation and Geohazards Studies (ZB214A)

Equipments

The Laboratory for Deformation and Geohazards Studies is located in room ZB214, Block Z, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The Laboratory facilitates research in developing new technologies, such as GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems), InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) and in-situ sensor-based technologies, and in studying geohazards, such as landslides, earthquakes, land subsidence and structural health.
The laboratory is equipped with advanced hardware and software.
