Overview
In this full-day short course, we focus on the interpretation of processed InSAR data and how these data can be analyzed and modeled. The expansion of cloud-based routine processing efforts accompanying the Sentinel-1 mission, and in anticipation of the forthcoming NISAR mission, have dramatically expanded the volume of processed InSAR data in the public domain, providing access to InSAR data products without the need to learn InSAR processing. This workshop is targeted at researchers who would like to use these processed products effectively. Topics to be covered include: background theory and processing methodology, data errors and common issues, satellite missions and processed data repositories, time series analysis, data interpretation, ingesting data into modeling efforts, and teaching about InSAR to undergraduates.
Goals
Participants will:
- Learn the InSAR background theory, processing methods, and common errors sources
- Know the different types of InSAR satellites and data sources
- Learn how to interpret processed InSAR data for a variety of geoscience applications including InSAR time series
- Be able to access online educational resources related to teaching InSAR to undergraduate majors

Course Materials
In-person participants should bring a laptop.
Virtual participants should print the two exercises.
- EXERCISE - Interpreting InSAR data: 1995 Dinar earthquake
- Note: this exercise is from the teaching module Imaging Active Tectonics with InSAR and Lidar Unit 3
- EXERCISE - Interpreting InSAR lines of sight and directions of motion
- All workshop presentations zipped (16 Mb). Individual presentation files are linked below on the agenda
Agenda
Please note that although the short course content will start at 8:30 am, in-person participants can join us for coffee starting at 8 am and virtual participants should plan to test their connection prior to 8:30 to make sure everything is working.
