Coastal altimetry, which provides detailed wave and sea level
data in the coastal zone captured by specialist instruments called
radar altimeters on board satellites, is at the heart of the project and scientists from NOC have been at the cutting - edge of this technique.
Sea level has been rising about 3 millimeters per year, on average, since 1993, according to
data gathered by space - based
radar altimeters.
Six days after its initial discovery, AWI scientists conducted a more detailed aerial survey of the circular feature in the ice shelf, taking photos and videos, and collecting laser
altimeter and
radar data mapping the feature's contours in detail.
Demonstrated leadership by proactively researching multiple engineering databases and acquiring drawings needed for manufacturing, procurement and installation of parts to support Airframe, Environmental, Electrical and Weapons systems; was responsible for
