Synthetic Aperture Radar; Backscatter and Interferometry Applications ENSC 414 (4)

Principles of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and interferometric SAR (InSAR) remote sensing and its applications. Overview of basic theory, linking SAR with related coherent imaging techniques (e.g. optical holography). Understanding capabilities and limitations of complex SAR data and their key land and marine applications. Main focus is on InSAR methods and their Earth science monitoring and detection applications. Prerequisite: MATH 251, ENSC 316 and permission of instructor. Students with credit for ENSC 812 or ENSC 461 under the title "Synth. Aperture Radar Applic" or ENSC 895 under the title "Synth. Aperture Radar Applic" may not take this course for further credit.
