Highlights from the SAR Community Supported by ASF's 30-Year Quest for Making SAR Data Accessible
Session ID#: 123978
Session Description:
SAR has proven to be a versatile tool for a range of Earth science and applications disciplines. Since the launch of Seasat in 1978, SAR has undergone significant developments. While early missions enabled the development of first SAR applications, second generation sensors increased data diversity and broadened the SAR community. The free-and-open globally-sampled data from ESA’s Sentinel-1 and the upcoming NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) mission are further revolutionizing SAR as an Earth observation instrument.
The NASA Alaska Satellite Facility (ASF) DAAC has supported SAR activities since 1991, enabling a number of scientific achievements over the years. To celebrate ASF’s 30-year anniversary, we invite contributions that highlight the utility of SAR to society. Projects utilizing SAR data on a large scale (geographically, time, or wavelength) are of interest. Presentations touching on current and future developments in SAR, cloud-based SAR analysis, and high-impact NASA-supported projects are also welcome.
