====== 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. ===== Course Projects for Fall 2014 ===== *[[grant:main|InSAR investigation of surface deformations due to hydraulic fracturing in the Powder River Basin by Grant Aivazian]] \\ *[[ben:main|ben]] \\ *[[alex:main|alex]] \\ *[[jiangang:main|Use InSAR to image the surface deformation associated with three earthquakes]] \\ *[[mika:main|mika]] \\ *[[mark:main|Atmospheric Corrections at Mount St Helens]] \\ ===== Course Projects for Winter 2010 ===== * Using DInSAR to analyze Boulder Creek earthflow, northern California from September 19, 2007 – December 20, 2009, by Alex Handwerger * Areal extent of rupture associated with the Mw 7.0 January 12, 2010 Haiti earthquake: Regional seismic hazard implication?, by Ashley Streig * Mapping lava flows on the East Rift Zone of Kilauea, Hawaii with SAR coherence, by Hannah Dietterich * Study of the deformation of the Longitudinal valley fault using InSAR, by Jiangzhi Chen * InSAR Evaluation of Ice Movement on the Antarctic Peninsula, by Sara Papamarcos * Interseismic Strain at Two Locations Along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, by Sequoia Alba * Analyzing Correlation West of the Three Sisters Volcanoes using Conventional InSAR and StaMPS/MTI, by Susan Riddick * Detecting Long-wavelength Tectonic Uplift resulting from the Migrating Mendocino Triple Junction using InSAR, by Randy Krogstad ===== Course Projects for Spring 2008 ===== * 2.21.08 Earthquake near Wells, NV, by Sarah Firth\\ * Subsidence in the San Joaquin Valley: Lost Hills Case Study, by Joanne Hall\\ * Land Uplift & Subsidence in the Santa Clara Valley, CA, by John Hill\\ * Radar Coherence as a Function of Slope: A Mojave Desert Case Study, by Samuel Jones\\ * Using PS InSAR to monitor pre- and co-eruptive deformation at Mount St. Helens, WA, 2003-2006, by Andrew Schneider\\ * Assessing the use of trihedral corner reflectors for PS-InSAR landslide studies, by Laura Stimely\\ ===== Course Projects for Winter 2007 ===== * Land Subsidence in Portland, OR, by Philip Benghiat * Los Angeles Area InSAR Observation]] by Belle Philibosian * Land Subsidence in the Klamath Basin, OR, by Anuwat Treerotchananon * Using InSAR to examine slow-moving landslides at the Portuguese Bend, CA, by Max Calabro * Detection of ground displacment near the Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve using InSAR, by Robert Dubuc III \\ SAR data acquired from [[http://www.esa.int|ESA]] and [[http://www.jaxa.jp/index_e.html|JAXA]] through the [[http://winsar.unavco.org/main.php|WInSAR Consortium]]. \\ Funding for data purchases provided by [[http://www.nsf.gov/|NSF]] and [[http://www.nasa.gov/|NASA]].\\
