Flood Mapping in a Complex Environment Using Bistatic TanDEM-X/TerraSAR-X InSAR Coherence
In this paper, we assess the flood mapping capabilities of the X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery acquired by the bistatic pair TanDEM-X/TerraSAR-X (TDX/TSX).

Dome growth, collapse, and valley fill at Soufrière Hills Volcano, Montserrat, from 1995 to 2013: Contributions from satellite radar measurements of topographic change [PDF]
Frequent high-resolution measurements of topography at active volcanoes can provide important information for assessing the distribution and rate of emplacement of volcanic deposits and their influence on hazard.

Abstract Lava tubes are subsurface conduits within a lava flow that feed its advance. Lava tube detection is important to understand lava flow dynamics and to mitigate geohazards. Here we use InSAR‐derived surface motion data, in combination with shortwave and thermal infrared imagery, to delineate a ∼14 km long lava tube system at Fernandina volcano ...

Generalized PFA for Air-Missile Borne Bistatic Forward-Looking Beam-Steering SAR With Accelerations
For air-missile borne bistatic forward-looking beam-steering synthetic aperture radar (BFLBS-SAR), the receiver platform moves along a curve track due to the existence of accelerations.

Polarization Impact in TanDEM-X Data Over Vertical-Oriented Vegetation: The Paddy-Rice Case Study [PDF]
It has been recently shown that the TanDEM-X mission is capable of tracking the plant growth of rice paddies. The precision of the elevation measure depends on the physical interaction between the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) signal and the canopy.

Coseismic Vertical Displacement for a Shallow Thrust Earthquake From EarthDEM Data
Abstract Coseismic vertical displacements are important observations that help improve our understanding of fault mechanisms and how earthquakes alter landscapes. It has been a challenge to quantify long‐wavelength topographic changes for thrust earthquakes using optical satellite imagery, as most recent studies focus on strike‐slip earthquakes that ...

SWOT Water Surface Elevation in Herbaceous Wetlands of Florida's Everglades
Abstract Observing water level variations in wetlands is important for tracking global water and carbon cycles. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission was launched to measure Earth's surface waters, but its performance in vegetated wetlands was unknown.
