MINERVA (Monitoring by Interferometric SAR of Environmental Risk in Volcanic Areas) is a small scale service demonstration project financed by ESA in the Data User Programme framework. The objective of the project is the design, development and assessment of a demonstrative information service based on the interferometric processing of images acquired from either the ASAR instrument on board ENVISAT-I or SAR instruments on board ERS1/2. The system is based on a new approach for the processing of INSAR data, which allows to optimize the quality of interferograms spanning from 35 days up to several years, and to merge them to generate a single solution describing the temporal evolution of the ground deformations in the examined risk area. The system allows to update this solution each time a new SAR image is available, and constitutes therefore an innovative tool for monitoring of the ground displacements in risk areas. The system has been implemented and demonstrated at Osservatorio Vesuviano (Naples, Italy), which is the institution responsible for monitoring the volcanic phenomena in the Neapolitan volcanic district, and for alerting the Italian civil authorities (''Protezione Civile'') in case such monitoring activity reveals signals of imminent eruptions. In particular, the MINERVA system has been used to monitor the ground deformations at the Phlegrean Fields, a densely populated, high-hazard zone which is subject to alternate phases of uplift and subsidence, accompanied often by seismic activity.
