CURRENT S&T / RESEARCH

Exploitation of advanced satellite radar techniques to monitor Canada’s northern environments.

SAR interferometry for glacier velocity measurements. A decade long program of monitoring glacier dynamics in the High Arctic with radar satellites, contributing to our understanding of High Arctic glaciology and the impacts of climate change in Canada.

SAR interferometry and new sensor investigation for detecting ground movement in permafrost zones. To understand the magnitude of annual cycles, identify areas experiencing long term degradation and quantify the amount of change.

Research into new SAR sensors, processing techniques, applications and implementation.

Technology transfer to the private sector and to other government departments to operationalize satellite based environmental monitoring.
