The Coffer scan team uses SAR with computing advances that can track topographic changes down to a couple centimeters. Sand wiggles differently over tunnels vs bedrock. The proprietary nature of their software raises verification concerns for independent researchers.

Key facts

  • Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) uses smaller satellite radar antennas to cover wider areas, treating data as if gained through a larger synthetic aperture
  • Advances in computing have improved data correlation accuracy to track differences down to a couple of centimeters
  • The team uses proprietary software to detect changes in Earth topography over time
  • The methodology relies on sand shifting differently over tunnels compared to bedrock
  • The speaker notes the proprietary nature of the technology raises verification concerns
