The European Space Agency organised POLinSAR 2007, the 3rd International Workshop on Science and Applications of SAR Polarimetry and Polarimetric Interferometry, in Frascati, Italy on 22-26 January 2007

The main objectives of the workshop were to:

• 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 to assess the state-of-the-art
• Present first polarimetric and interferometric results from ALOS PALSAR
• Assess the available Pol-InSAR tools and datasets
• Review the bio-geophysical parameters that can be retrieved and their accuracy
• Make recommendations for algorithm development and new products
• Formulate recommendations for future missions and applications
• Report on progress/status of recommendations of PolInSAR 2005

The workshop was open to ESA Principal Investigators and co-investigators, scientists and students working in the field of SAR Polarimetry and Polarimetric Interferometry, and to representatives from national, European and international space agencies and value adding industry.
