Developing systematic SAR backscatter tools for volcanic monitoring (VOLCSCATTER)

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOL (GB)

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) backscatter can provide crucial information about the progression of a volcanic eruption,regardless of the time of day or environmental conditions (e.g., cloud coverage). SAR backscatter is dependent on the surface scattering properties, which can be altered during a volcanic eruption through the emplacement or removal of material. Monitoring backscatter changes through …

Environmental Crimes workshop 2024

June 11, 2024 @ 09:00 - June 12, 2024 @ 17:00 UTC+2
ESA-ESRIN, Largo Galileo Galilei, 1
Frascati, RM 00044 Italy

Background Environmental crime is growing at annual rates of 5% to 7% globally. Countering environmental crime is complex  as it is often perpetrated by criminal organizations operating across borders. It also spans a broad range of activities, such as illegal waste management and shipment, illegal logging and trade in timber, illegal water abstraction, pollution, habitats …

SURFCLASS

Prime company: TRE ALTAMIRA s.r.l. (IT)

AI for satellite interferometry (InSAR) to simplify data exploitation and interpretation by adding a classification layer to large inSAR point cloud databases. Over the years, InSAR has become a common approach to map and monitor ground displacement at different scales, from local to regional and national. At large scales, InSAR provides such a volume of …

7th Edition of the DLR/ESA open PolinSAR training course 2024

April 8, 2024 @ 09:00 - July 5, 2024 @ 17:00 UTC+2

This PolInSAR course is an online, hands-on course that aims to develop an understanding of the information content of multi-parameter SAR data in an interactive way, without assuming any prior/background knowledge – though some knowledge in Python programming is welcome. It is organised around 11 sessions over 11 weeks, with lectures and tutorials ranging from SAR image formation up …

Transforming industrial infrastructure monitoring protocols with InSAR: a success story from Hungary

InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) is a satellite-based remote sensing technology using radar waves to measure and monitor ground movement, which can provide valuable insights into the stability and safety of infrastructure. This is also particularly useful for detecting subtle changes in the ground, such as subsidence or other deformations and displacements, which can indicate …
