interferometric synthetic aperture radar, J. Glaciol., 56 (200), 1026 - 1042, 2010.
In contrast, Joughin and Tulaczyk's analysis takes advantage of the much - expanded database available from ice - flow velocity measurements obtained using
Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar.
Advances in glacier ice flow mapping using repeat satellite images, and later using
interferometric synthetic aperture radar SAR methods, facilitated the mass budget approach, although this still requires an estimate of snow input and a cross-section of the glacier as it flows out from the continent and becomes floating ice.
Using a remote sensing technique, called
Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), the researchers analyzed water - level changes in Louisiana's coastal wetlands that occurred due to tidal inundation.
John Pickrell's description of the use of
interferometric synthetic aperture radar to study earthquake zones was interesting (2 September, p...
Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar — A proposed satellite - based monitoring system that, if funded, will track the movement and deformation of the North American and Pacific plates by bouncing radar waves off the surfaces.
The UC Berkeley team used 19 years of satellite data to map ground deformation using
interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) and measure creep along the southern end of the Hayward Fault, and found, surprisingly, that the creep didn't stop south of Fremont, the presumed southern end of the fault, but continued as far as the Calaveras Fault.
Researchers Cathleen Jones and Ron Blom of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., analyzed
interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) imagery of the area acquired during flights of the agency's Uninhabited Airborne Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar (UAVSAR), which uses a C - 20A jet, in June 2011 and July 2012.
Using data from Global Positioning System (GPS) stations and
Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) images collected during successive satellite fly - overs, ASU researchers were able to measure changes in surface elevation during a time period spanning the main Gorkha event, and several major aftershocks, with centimeter accuracy.
Shirzaei and colleagues took a different approach, using a constellation of satellites —
the Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) satellites — to detect alterations in Earth's crust driven by underlying pressure fluctuations.
