A Q&A Session on Radar Remote Sensing

(or Everything You Always Wanted to Know About SAR)

In recent years, the Earth Observations community has seen an increase in the availability and application of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data for mapping and monitoring disasters, water, and land cover applications such as deforestation, crops, flooding, and earthquakes.

Previous ARSET online webinar series focused on building the skills needed to acquire and understand SAR data, including polarimetric and interferometric SAR (PolSAR and InSAR), as well as potential applications. The demand for guidance using SAR is extensive. The goal of this live, 2 hour question and answer session is to provide participants with the opportunity to ask questions of a panel of experts. The session will be provided twice, once in English and once in Spanish.

This Q&A-type training builds on ARSET's previous webinars: Introduction to Synthetic Aperture Radar and Advanced Webinar: Radar Remote Sensing for Land, Water, & Disaster Applications. The session is also designed to prepare participants for future advanced SAR trainings.

This Session is created in partnership with Franz Meyer (ASF Chief Scientist/NASA/UAF). 

Course Format: 
A 2-hour question and answer session held with a select panel of experts

English panel experts include: 

Erika Podest, NASA ARSET Trainer, NASA/JPL
Franz Meyer, ASF Chief Scientist, NASA/UAF
Paul Rosen, Project Scientist, NASA/JPL
Eric Fielding, Research Scientist, NASA/JPL
Naiara Pinto, UAVSAR Science Coordinator, NASA/JPL
Eric Anderson, Research Scientist, SERVIR, NASA/UAH 

Audience: 
Remote sensing users from local, regional, state, federal, and international organizations interested in using SAR for terrestrial applications such as inundation mapping, ecosystem monitoring, hazard response, land cover land use change studies or surface deformation.

This training was created by NASA's Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET). ARSET is a part of NASA's Applied Science's Capacity Building Program. Learn more about ARSET: http://arset.gsfc.nasa.gov/
