Incomplete avalanche activity datasets introduce uncertainty to avalanche forecasting Roughly 150-250 people die each year in avalanche accidents. Infrastructure loss and costs from evacuations and road closures and the use of active and permanent mitigation measures amount to large economic costs. Regional avalanche forecasting is an active mitigation measure that informs the public of …

ESA and CONAE organised a SAR course in preparation of CONAE’s SAOCOM mission. The topics focused on demonstrating the combined use of X/C/L band SAR data for a variety of applications (including vegetation monitoring, disaster mapping and cryosphere) and using different techniques (among which InSAR and Polarimetry). This training addressed 70 Argentinian users with previous …
A full week is just over of training on the theory and applications of land remote sensing, ranging from the theoretical fundamentals and advanced concepts of spaceborne optical, thermal and microwave remote sensing to hands on use of software tools for a variety of applications including urban mapping, change detection, fire detection, forestry, vegetation monitoring, …
NORUT has developed an automatic avalanche detection method within a pre-operational processing chain that uses Sentinel-1 data to detect avalanches. This system is being tested in Northern Norway and is used operationally during winter 2017-2018 with the Norwegian Avalanche Warning Service. The goal of this project is to develop our avalanche detection processing chain to …
