LDEO Earth Science Colloquium presents:
NISAR first results and effects of soil moisture on phase
Dr. Rowena Lohman, Director of Undergraduate Studies for Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Major, Professor. The David A. Duffield College of Engineering, Cornell University.
Abstract: The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar mission has now been active for a full year, and is operationally producing a range of InSAR, backscatter, and soil moisture products. I will summarize these and describe early results for the soil moisture product and how soil moisture effect on InSAR can be significant and some of the prospects for their mitigation.
Host: Dr. Michael Steckler, Associate Director, Marine and Polar Geophysics, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO); Lamont Research Professor, Marine and Polar Geophysics, LDEO.
The Earth Science Colloquium Series, sponsored by Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and Columbia University Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (DEES), provides a lively forum for discussing a wide variety of topics within the Earth sciences and related fields. Colloquia are attended by the full range of scientific and technical staff at LDEO. Colloquium attendance is required of all pre-orals DEES graduate students.
