Application of Satellite SAR Imagery in Mapping the Active Layer of Arctic Permafrost
The objective of this project is to map the spatial variation of the active layer over the arctic permafrost in terms of two parameters: (i) timing and duration of thaw period and (ii) differential frost heave and thaw settlement of the active layer. To achieve this goal, remote sensing, numerical m...
