UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal
Help Shape the Future of the UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal
The UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal is your one-stop platform for resources on space-based disaster risk management. It provides: • Links and guidance on satellite data sources and applications • Recommended practices and step-by-step methodologies • Training materials and tutorials • Case studies and user stories from real-world applications • News and updates on UN-SPIDER activities, events, and global developments
Since its last major review in 2012, the Portal has evolved significantly. Now, we want to hear from you.
We invite you to take part in the 2025 evaluation of the UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal!
The European Space Agency is organising the 10th International Workshop on Science and Applications of SAR Polarimetry and Polarimetric Interferometry, POLINSAR 2021.
Date(s)
The workshop will take place online from 26 to 30 April 2021.
Objectives
Provide a forum for scientific exchange
Present the latest exploitation results from full-pol airborne and spaceborne systems and assess the state-of-the-art
Review retrieved bio-geophysical parameters and their accuracy
Make recommendations for algorithm development and new products
Support the preparation for ESA and Third Parties full-pol missions exploitation (BIOMASS, NOVASAR-S, RCM, SAOCOM, TerraSAR-L etc.)
Present innovative polarimetric applications and ideas for future polarimetric mission concepts Report on the status of POLinSAR 2019 recommendations
Sessions
Methods and Theoretical Modelling
Calibration and Validation
SAR Polarimetry
Compact/Hybrid Polarimetry
Bistatic Polarimetry
Tomography
SAR Polarimetric Interferometry (Pol-InSAR)
Persistent Scatterers Interferometry (PSI)
Applications of SAR Polarimetry:
– Land: Forest, Agriculture, Environment, Wetlands, Soil Moisture;
– Ocean: Pollution Monitoring, Ship Detection, Parameters Retrieval;
– Cryosphere: Snow, Land Ice and Sea Ice;
– Hazards: Fire Monitoring, Volcanoes, Flooding, Earthquake;
– Other Applications (e.g. Urban)
Past, Current (eg. ALOS-2, Sentinel-1, GF-3, RISAT) and Future SAR Missions (e.g. BIOMASS, NovaSAR-S, RCM, SAOCOM, NISAR, TerraSAR-L)
Airborne and Spaceborne campaigns
Participation in the oral and poster programme will be decided by the Scientific Committee following the review of submitted abstracts.
