Kirk Scanlan is a researcher in the Geodesy & Earth Observation division of the National Space Institute (DTU Space) at the Technical University of Denmark. He has a strong background in the use of radar measurements in a variety of fields including earth science, geotechnical engineering, and planetary science. Kirk completed his undergraduate degree in …
In ARCTIC-FLOW we plan to generate new 16-year temporal series of satellite-derived freshwater and density flux products for Arctic and sub-Arctic regions by using in a synergistic way satellite estimates of Sea Surface Temperature, Sea Surface Currents and Sea Surface Salinity. The new satellite-derived assessment of freshwater and density fluxes will be used to study …
ARCTEX is a cross-disciplinary project that aims to use Earth observation to improve understanding of extreme events in the Arctic and the complex interplay between the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, and land ice, with cascading effects on global climate systems. ARCTEX we will conduct three case studies in the Atlantic sector of the Arctic Ocean: …
The project aims to maximise the use of Earth observation data to understand the impact of the Arctic freshwater export and Greenland ice discharge on modulating the water column structure and phytoplankton dynamics on the East Greenland Shelf. This will include a dedicated effort in mapping and quantifying three important components of the Arctic marine …
SO-SIMBA aims to: Develop and validate novel methods and innovative satellite remote sensing products to quantify Antarctic sea ice mass balance; Produce and maintain a Southern Ocean sea ice mass balance dataset from EO; Assess the changes in freshwater flux between sea ice and the ocean and the consequences for ocean circulation.
The goal of this project is to develop, implement and validate a GNSS-R module for the snow microwave radiative transfer model (SMRT). The objectives are to: 1) provide a review of existing applications of GNSS-R to cryosphere environments and summarize models for simulating GNSS-R delay doppler maps (DDMs); 2) develop a GNSS-R module for SMRT …
Background Following on from the 15, 20 and 25 “Years of Progress in Radar Altimetry” Symposia (respectively in 2006, 2012, and 2018), all deemed very successful milestones by the participants and the readership of the Proceedings, we have now reached the 30-year anniversary of precise altimetry. To mark this occasion the European Space Agency, in …
