Course Description
Level: Foundation
Satellite radar data are revolutionizing how we monitor and understand surface deformation. From mapping earthquake impacts with routinely generated co-seismic deformation maps to ensuring compliance with evolving environmental regulations, radar measurements are proving indispensable across a wide range of applications. This is because radar technology offers the unparalleled ability to remotely measure tiny surface displacements – down to millimeters – across vast areas and over extended periods, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming ground-based monitoring. However, many geoscientists and engineers are unfamiliar with how radar sensors orbiting the Earth can measure ground displacements of a fraction of a centimeter. This course bridges that gap, providing a step-by-step introduction to satellite radar sensors, SAR imagery, SAR interferometry (InSAR), and advanced InSAR techniques.
