====== Satellite Radar Interferometry ======
Satellite Interferometry is a remote sensing technique recently adopted by the earth science community to study various active earth processes.  This technique has rapidly grown in popularity over the past decade because it provides a unique dataset to study seismic, volcanic, hydrologic, and other surface processes.  The material covered in this class constitutes a ‘crash course’ on the theoretical concepts and practical computing skills necessary to apply satellite interferometry towards the study of the earth. 


A major component of the course is an independent research project.  Students identify a geologic process to investigate, choose a region of study, and process the available satellite data for that region.  Final reports are posted below.
