SAR for Detecting and Monitoring Floods, Sea Ice, and Subsidence from Groundwater Extraction
- Start Date:
- Oct. 24, 2023
- End Date:
- Nov. 1, 2023
- Description:
- This training will expand on the theory and applications of SAR data to detect and monitor floods through the use of SAR time-series in order to more closely monitor the increase/recession of flood waters. This training will also cover two new application areas: the use of InSAR to measure subsidence due to groundwater extraction, and the use of SAR to detect and monitor sea ice.
- Targeted Audience:
- Disaster management agencies, including domestic and international government agencies, aid organizations, indigenous communities, students, and academics.
- Expected Outcomes:
- By the end of this training attendees will be able to: -Generate subsidence maps due to groundwater extraction to inform risk and resource management--Detect and monitor sea ice to identify potential risks to shipping and coastal erosion -Detect and monitor floods in order to more closely monitor increase/recession of flood waters and better inform disaster response and management
