This is an introduction into the classification of land cover and land use from Earth observation data. The presentation includes:
The material is valid for all fields of Earth observation, not only Radar remote sensing.
This presentation is part of a four-part series on the basics on Synthetic Aperture Radar.
Learning Objectives: Brief introduction to polarimetry and familiarize students with

Dr. Erika Podest is a scientist with the Carbon Cycle and Ecosystems Group at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Her research focuses on using Earth observing satellites, particularly microwave sensors, for characterizing and monitoring wetland ecosystems and seasonal freeze/thaw dynamics in the northern high latitudes as related to the global carbon and water cycles and climate change. She is working on the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission, a NASA Earth observing satellite that launched on Jan. 31 2015, which is improving our understanding of Earth’s water and carbon cycles and our ability to manage water resources.

The SAR Handbook: Comprehensive Methodologies for Forest Monitoring and Biomass Estimation is the culmination of a two-year collaboration between NASA SERVIR and SilvaCarbon. Five trainings, led by six SAR subject matter experts, were held at hubs throughout the SERVIR network. The topics of these trainings included SAR basics, SAR for forest change detection, forest height estimation, biomass estimation, mangrove monitoring, and sampling design. Each of these training topics are covered in a SAR Handbook chapter, which includes the theoretical basics and applied exercises. You can download the entire SAR Handbook (PDF) below.
ESA’s Sentinel Application Platform (SNAP) is a set of toolboxes, developed for the processing and analysis of Earth observation data.
The following video tutorial gives you an introduction into the usage of the Sentinel-1 toolbox.
You can either download SNAP from the Link above or use the direct links for your operating system below.
You can download the tutorial data directly here:
This is a direct link to download the data from the Copernicus Scihub (log in required).
This is an interactive Python tutorial including a Jupyter Notebook. In this tutorial you will learn how to process and analyse tomographic SAR data.
