Morton Analytics LLC (GroundPulse)

Morton Analytics LLC, operating as GroundPulse, is a geospatial data analytics firm based in Missoula, Montana, USA. The company develops the GroundPulse platform, an infrastructure displacement intelligence service that translates public satellite SAR data into ground deformation risk assessments for regulated US asset owners.^[1]

GroundPulse uses ESA Sentinel-1 SAR data and NASA OPERA Displacement (DISP) interferometric products to generate sub-millimetre precision surface displacement time series covering a 10-year historical archive. Integration of NISAR L-band data is planned for validated products. Platform modules address bridges (US National Bridge Inventory integration, IIJA reporting alignment), pipelines (PHMSA/ASME standards alignment), roadways (corridor-level geohazard screening), and private dams (in scoping phase as of 2026). Target customers include PHMSA-regulated pipeline operators, state Departments of Transportation, utility transmission and distribution operators, and private dam owners.^[2]
