Zhengkang Shen of IGCEA and Peking University's Department of Geophysics, and collaborators acquired two kinds of satellite radar data: Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) data in C-band from ESA's Envisat satellite and Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (PALSAR) data from Japan's ALOS satellite.
Specific topics include mapping volcanoes using high-resolution three-dimensional devices, airborne thematic mapping of thermal imagery, developments in synthetic aperture radar interferometry, interactions between slope instability and human habitation, digital aerial photography of landslides, coastal and marine environments, urban geology, mapping of shrinking and swelling clays, mapping of onshore hydrocarbon seepage, mapping using model data, and space technology for disaster management.
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Touted as the world's smallest synthetic aperture radar (Sar), the Nanosar, developed by Insitu and Imsar, has been flight-tested on Boeing's ScanEagle drone.
