Workshop in SAR for Geodesy

Workshop on the geodetic applications of synthetic aperture radar.
Aalto logo lumella

The Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technique is being increasingly used in different applications, including products that provide geodetic accuracy. Our workshop focuses on viewing the current status of the technique and products from geodetic perspective and their uses for geodetic applications. The workshop will take place as a noon-to-noon meeting in Espoo, Finland, remote participation will also be possible.

The preliminary titles for the sessions are:

  1. Geodetic SAR, the absolute positioning possibilities the technique delivers as well as other applications providing geodetic accuracy
  2. InSAR (Interferometric SAR) and how it can be used to detect land movements in a geodetic reference frame
  3. Infrastructure, inviting presentations from researchers and agencies testing and installing both active and passive transponders.

Invited presentations from:
Muriel Pinheiro, European Space Agency
Ramon Hansson, Delft University of Technology
Christoph Gisinger, German Aerospace Center 
Thomas Gruber, Technical University of Munich

The workshop is sponsored by International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), International Associations of Geodesy (IAG) and Seismology and Physics of Earth's Interior (IASPEI) within IUGG. 

We will continue the week with Working group meetings of the Nordic Geodetic Commission (NKG), Working Group of Geodynamics and Earth Observations (WGGEO) and Working Group for Height and Geoid (WGHG). More info here: https://www.aalto.fi/en/events/nkg-working-group-meetings
