Main Objective
[Full title is Environmental Impact and Risk Modeling of Petroleum and Gas Transmission Lines using Interferometry and High Resolution Imagery from Satellite and Airborne-Based Remote Sensing Systems]
Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) has the ability to detect and map centimeter scale deformation in petroleum and gas transmission line corridors on a system-wide basis. High resolution optical satellite imagery coupled with InSAR offer the ability to accurately characterize environmental conditions and features for hazard and risk assessments.
Public Abstract
[Full title is Environmental Impact and Risk Modeling of Petroleum and Gas Transmission Lines using Interferometry and High Resolution Imagery from Satellite and Airborne-Based Remote Sensing Systems]
Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) has the ability to detect and map centimeter scale deformation in petroleum and gas transmission line corridors on a system-wide basis. High resolution optical satellite imagery coupled with InSAR offer the ability to accurately characterize environmental conditions and features for hazard and risk assessments.
EarthWatch will focus on developing processes and associated techniquess to model, invert, and interpret high-resolution multi-spectral imagery and InSAR data.
