What GeoKinesia does

GeoKinesia is a Barcelona-based remote sensing company founded in 2020 that provides ground and structure deformation monitoring using Interferometric Synthetic-Aperture Radar (InSAR) and Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI). Its proprietary InSAR processing chain, developed in partnership with the CTTC research center, ingests satellite radar data from multiple constellations (Sentinel-1, TerraSAR-X, PAZ, Cosmo-SkyMed, Capella Space, Iceye) and outputs millimeter-precision deformation measurements with tens of thousands of measurement points per square kilometer and revisit cadences from six days to daily. The platform is augmented by Active Corner Reflectors for low-backscatter areas, a Predictive Solution forecasting module, the Active Deformation Area (ADA) clustering product, and the Deformation Differential Map and Building Differential Deformation (BDD) analysis tools.

The company serves enterprise and government customers in mining, oil and gas, infrastructure, civil engineering and construction, geohazards/landslides, and insurance across more than 25 countries. It sells through direct enterprise engagement for comprehensive monitoring subscriptions and through a self-serve web interface for smaller accounts needing ad hoc InSAR analysis. GeoKinesia is embedded in European public-sector Earth observation initiatives, including the European Ground Motion Service (EGMS), the Prometeo and SecurIT projects, the MOSMIN consortium with mining majors Codelco, Boliden, and Cumrumold, and the ESA-backed Destination Earth Platform, where it launched the Global Ground Motion Service (GGMS) in April 2026.

The firm is privately held with 1-10 employees, no disclosed external funding, and revenue figures not publicly reported. Its competitive positioning rests on deep domain expertise (over 40 years combined specialization and more than 200 published research papers), proprietary processing algorithms, multi-sensor data access, and consortium-level institutional integration rather than on AI/ML differentiation.

Core offering

GeoKinesia delivers InSAR-based satellite radar deformation monitoring services using Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) processed through a proprietary processing chain, providing millimeter-precision measurement of ground and structural movement. Services are packaged by industry vertical (mining, oil and gas, infrastructure, civil engineering/construction, insurance, geohazards) and delivered either as enterprise subscriptions or via a web-based self-service interface for ad hoc analysis, with add-on analytics modules for predictive modeling and clustering.

Product overview

GeoKinesia is a world-leading provider of InSAR-based land deformation monitoring services, operating as a platform-plus-modules architecture. The core offering is the Proprietary InSAR Processing Chain, which processes satellite radar data using Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) techniques to deliver millimeter-precision ground deformation measurements. This core platform is applied across multiple industry-specific monitoring services including Mining, Oil & Gas, Geohazards/Landslides, Infrastructure, Civil Engineering & Construction, and Insurance. Add-on analytics modules include the Predictive Solution (forecast analytics), Active Deformation Area (ADA) Map (clustering analysis), and Deformation Differential Map (spatial gradient analysis). Self-service access is available via a Web-based User Interface. The company also launched GGMS (Global Ground Motion Service) on the European Destination Earth Platform. GeoKinesia's technology and research partner is CTTC (Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya), supporting R&D advancement in InSAR technology.
