26-Nov - 30-Nov 2007

ESA/ESRIN, Frascati, Italy

The European Space Agency organised its third International Workshop on Envisat ASAR interferometry and its fifth International Workshop on ERS SAR Interferometry: Advances in SAR Interferometry from Envisat and ERS missions, which was held at ESA ESRIN in Frascati, Italy from the 26-30 November 2007.

The workshop was open to ESA Principal Investigators and co-investigators, scientists and students working in the field of  Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) interferometry and its applications.

  • Methodology and Techniques
    • General
    • ScanSAR Interferometry and Applications
    • Polarimetric Interferometry
    • PSI (Persistent Scatterer Interferometry)

    • Future missions
  • Airborne campaigns
  • Applications
    • Earthquakes and tectonics
    • Ice and snow
    • Terrain subsidence and landslides
    • Volcanoes
    • Thematic mapping and DEMs

Objectives

  • Provide a forum for scientific exchange and to initiate and encourage close collaboration between individual research groups,
  • Present new results from the latest studies in the field and asses the state of the art.,
  • Provide a forum for ESA Principal Investigators to present results and status of AO and Cat-1 projects,
  • Present the first interferometric results from Third Party Missions like ALOS-PALSAR, TerraSAR-X and RADARSAT-2,
