How do you measure ground motion in New Orleans?
InSAR: radar satellites (Copernicus Sentinel-1) compare the phase of millions of radar returns across years of passes, revealing millimetre-scale vertical land motion. The data comes from peer-reviewed research (Ohenhen et al., Nature Cities 2025 and related datasets) and is screened on a ~100 m grid.
What should New Orleans buyers and owners do with this?
Use the free screening for the measured rates around any address. An amber or red result is context for a professional conversation — share the report with a licensed geotechnical engineer or structural surveyor. A green result means no notable motion was measured nearby; it is not a guarantee.
