UAVSAR: UAVSAR is the NASA airborne L-band radar mission that is used to study earth science (earthquakes, volcanoes, vegetation, hydrology, ice, etc.) This session would discuss the specific characteristics of the UAVSAR instrument, review how users can request and access data, and provide examples of research and applications using UAVSAR data.
Ecosystems & Agriculture: This session would review the physics of microwave scattering from vegetated surfaces and how this physics permits the use of NISAR and other SAR imagery for ecosystem applications such as determining biomass, structure, canopy height as well as soil moisture, inundation, and mapping of disturbances such as deforestation and fire and its use for agricultural applications such as mapping crop type, monitoring crop growth and phenology, and assessing cropland conditions.
Surface Deformation for Subsurface Reservoirs: This session would review how InSAR can be used to detect land subsidence caused by groundwater overdraft and land uplift related to artificial recharge facilities, natural recharge along streams and rivers, and groundwater recovery. It would also discuss combining InSAR with other related datasets (groundwater level data, pumping data, well-data, micro-gravity data, etc.) to provide a powerful tool that could be used in decision making and reservoir management.
Oceans applications: This session would review the scattering physics from the ocean and how this physics permits the use of NISAR and other SAR imagery for applications such as high-resolution marine wind speed, oil spill masking, sea-ice masking, ocean wave spectra, imaging ocean internal waves, ship detection, etc.
Change Detection for Disaster Response & Surface Deformation for Natural Hazards: Earthquakes, floods, tropical storms and other natural disasters can dramatically alter the built environment and landscape. This session would focus on the use of SAR for measuring change associated with these types of natural hazards and their use for emergency response activities and for measuring surface deformation associated with natural hazards and how it can be used for hazard monitoring and other decision support activities.
