Advances in Radar Remote Sensing of the Cryosphere
Advances in Radar Remote Sensing of the Cryosphere
Session ID#: 281217
Session Description:
The science goals and priorities of recent satellite missions (e.g., NISAR, PALSAR-3, Sentinel-1) and field campaigns (e.g., NoSREx, NASA’s ABoVE, Operation Ice Bridge, and SnowEx) have demonstrated that radar methods are crucial for understanding and monitoring cryosphere phenomena and processes. Cryosphere systems are extremely sensitive to global changes, and are therefore undergoing dramatic transformations. Radar’s unique properties interact with cryosphere environments, creating novel opportunities to study the cryosphere in unprecedented detail. This session invites contributions that use any radar remote sensing method (e.g., SAR, InSAR, Altimetry, Sounding), frequency, or platform (e.g., spaceborne, airborne, ground-based) to study any component of the cryosphere (e.g., snow, glaciers, ice sheets, sea ice, permafrost). Contributions may include scientific or operational studies, or method development.
