The rapidly-evolving technology of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry has revolutionized the measurement of topography and geophysical processes involving movement and deformation of the earth's surface, including the motion of polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers, coseismic displacements caused by earthquakes, and pre/post volcanic deformations. The course will include a review of the basics of SAR and SAR interferometry, techniques for subpixel co-registrtation of images, and the techniques of interferometry, including generation of 'raw' interferograms, coherence calculation, phase unwrapping, and derivation of digital elevation models. More advanced methods will be introduced if time permits. The course will be lab oriented.

The first class meeting will be Friday, September 6, 10:30-11:30am in the Elvey Auditorium.
