Description
Summary:This dissertation investigates radar remote sensing techniques for monitoring permafrost landscapes and estimating active layer soil properties, particularly the active layer thickness (ALT) and soil moisture profile, in the Arctic-boreal region. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) polarimetry has been widely used to estimate soil moisture and freeze/thaw state ...
