A Community InSAR Working Group: Organizing from a Satellite Perspective

This workshop aims to organize an international InSAR community, fostering collaboration in Earth observation missions. Committees focus on defining scientific vision, accessing data, educating scientists, and advocating for InSAR. Individual committees address mission opportunities, SAR data access, education/outreach, and coordination with agencies. The overall goal is to facilitate InSAR research and maximize the utilization of existing data and missions.

  1. A Community InSAR Working Group: Organizing from a Satellite Perspective Jeanne Sauber, Oxnard California Oct. 21, 2004

  2. This workshop - Community Components • Crustal Deformation • Cryosphere • Hydrology • Oceanography • Land Cover • Planetary • Atmosphere? • IT and Synthesis • Ed. / Outreach

  3. Possible Follow-on Subcommittees • Define scientific and programmatic vision. • Identify mission opportunities and relates these to science vision. • Increase access to existing InSAR data sets. • Educate the next generation of scientists to be able to fully exploit InSAR observations. • Advocate for use of InSAR data through written documents, as well as through talks, briefings, and scientific exchange. • Coordinate with national and international agencies.

  4. Scientific Committee • Identify key science questions to be addressed with InSAR data. • Establish an international InSAR community with broad discipline representation in Earth and Planetary science. • Convene workshops and meeting sessions to report new InSAR applications and technological advances.

  5. Mission Opportunities Committee • Be aware of mission opportunities, communicate them to group. • Define a mission based on the science objectives. This will include development of science requirements and definition of mission architecture. • Work with agency mission team to develop software and data product requirements. What higher level products should be produced?

  6. SAR Data Committee • Gain access to historical data. • Access to new data from existing missions. • Formation of W(orld)InSAR. • Real time response, setting up architecture for requesting data acquisition. • Scientific community input in early stages of mission planning. • How to interact with commercial providers?

  7. Education and Outreach Committee • Educate new students and users through workshops and summer schools. • Provide opportunities for young scientists to participate in InSAR research - postdocs, new investigator program • Develop education modules for SAR technology and data. • Develop education and outreach plan for InSAR mission.

  8. Planning Committee • Advocacy group for InSAR missions and research. • Visit agency heads and politically influential persons who can make a mission happen. • Energize community at appropriate and critical times.

  9. Coordination Committee (?) • Coordinate with national and international activities and programs - IPY, EarthScope, USGS earthquake and volcano hazards program, Global Earth Observation (GEO) process…

  10. Goals of Community Organization Facilitate InSAR research!! • Define and advocate an InSAR program. • Develop and foster an international InSAR community, which includes users and developers. • Educate and support new scientists. • Maximize use of existing missions and data.
