Keyword: 
Radar remote sensing, SAR, InSAR

Description:

​       Radar images have the characteristics of day and night and can penetrate clouds, and their ability to quickly judge and monitor surface changes has made radar telemetry the most popular and fastest-growing Earth observation tool in recent years. This course starts from explaining the basic theoretical knowledge of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), then discusses the monitoring capabilities and error sources of SAR images, and uses the ground displacement caused by earthquakes as an application case, allowing participating students to actually operate SAR images and understand How SAR images measure surface deformation. Finally, simulate surface deformation in combination with other geodetic data, and learn how to analyze and interpret phenomena using radar imagery.

Objective:

After this course, students will learn the operation of remote sensing, the procedure of data processing, the application of coseismic deformation mechanism, and so on.
