I thought I’d put together some random notes while learning from the Synthetic Aperture Radar: Hazards course taught by Dr Franz Meyer, the Chief Scientist of the Alaska Satellite Facility and Professor of Radar Remote Sensing at the Geophysical Institute at University of Alaska Fairbanks, through edX’s massive open online course platform.
My main motivation for enrolling in the online course was to refresh my foundational knowledge and understanding of polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR), and enhance my skills on utilising more advanced techniques including interferometric SAR (InSAR), polarimetric interferometric SAR (PolInSAR), and SAR tomography (TomoSAR)—all of which are quite very exciting technologies to employ in my research.
