JPL InSAR Class

JPL is planning to teach an InSAR and InSAR processing class June 11-16 at the Alaska Satellite Facility (ASF) in Fairbanks, Alaska. Several of you have expressed interest in sending people to such a class.

Whether or not we conduct the class depends on the level of interest. We are teaching the class in conjunction with ASF and there will be approximately 10 University of Alaska students. We are looking for about an additional 10 students from outside of U of A to take the course as well.

We have no funds to provide travel support for students.

Please let me know ASAP if you, or someone you know, are interested in the class. The class is still evolving, but syllabus will be roughly as follows:

Day 1
travel in AM
PM: Intro
Background
-radar
-science apps
-missions
Other methods

Day 2
theory
radar
InSAR
building roipac
running roipac
-ERS
-Radarsat
-Envisat
-JERS
-ALOS

Day 3
case study examining intermediate products and issues
user exercises
-on their own data
-or supplied data

Day 4
user supplied exercises
special topics
-Persistent Scatterers
-ScanSAR
-PolInSAR
-vector deformation

Day 5
using roipack with GIS, and modeling and simulation tools
travel in PM

Sincerely yours,

Andrea Donnellan
