JASMIN User Stories
JASMIN User Stories COMET: Seismic Hazard monitoring with Sentinel-1 InSAR “We’ve had fantastic support from the team who have helped us to build a suitable system. The level of support provided has really helped us to achieve our goals and I don’t think a bespoke solution like this would be available anywhere else. Due to the enormous volumes of data we’re dealing with (each image is around 8GB when zipped), the collocation of the archive with the JASMIN system is essential.” Emma Hatton, University of Leeds, JAMSIN Conference June 2017
