A careful investigation of RADAR scattering mechanisms in lake ice using PolSAR

Join PhD candidate, Jake Ferguson, as he discusses his research that explores how RADAR signals interact with ice structures and what information can be isolated from them using a new generation of space-borne instruments.

Fresh water ice has significant impacts on hydroelectric production, human safety and shipping across water and along ice roads. Learn more about the role fresh water ice plays as a key proxy variable for broader climate change effects in cold regions and the importance of satellite-based observation in monitoring climate and everyday operations.

This event is hosted as part of Geography and Environmental Management's GEM Seminar Series. Stay tuned for more events later this term.
