Short summary
The latest satellite technology with longer wavelength radar improves our ability to detect and monitor large alpine rock slope instabilities. This approach works better than current satellite systems in forested areas and on fast-moving slopes, giving experts more reliable data to understand these major hazards. Our results from three locations in Italy and Switzerland also provide important recommendations for the preparation of future satellite radar missions.
