  1. ASTER Advanced Spaceborne Emission and Reflection Radiometer

  2. ASTER Instrument • Has 3 sensors and detects 14 bands of spectrum. • Launched December 1999 • Ground resolution is 15m ~ 90m. VNIR Visible/Near Infrared Radiometer # of Bands:3 Nadir + 1 Aft-Looking Spatial Resolution:15 m SWIR Short Wave Infrared Radiometer # of Bands:6 Nadir Spatial Resolution:30 m TIR Thermal Infrared Radiometer # of Bands:5 Nadir Spatial Resolution:90 m

  3. ASTER Data Acquisition

  4. GDEM: The ASTER Global Topography Data Set

  5. Methodology 1. Stereo-correlate entire ~ 1.5 million scene ASTER Archive; 2. Cloud mask to remove cloudy pixels; 3. Stack all DEMS & remove residual bad values and outliers; 4. Partition data into 1º x 1º tiles --- ASTER scene (60km x 60km) SRTM3 coverage Tile (1 arc degree square) Automated processing Generation of a seamless tile of DEM using all ASTER data ever acquired over the tile ASTER coverage (~1.5 million scenes in summer 2008) Deeper red indicates more data accumulated. GEOSS Contribution to ASTER GDEM Both US and Japan committed to contribute to GEOSSat Capetown Summit 2007. Global coverage A seamless Tile of DEM

  6. ASTER Global Digital Elevation Model (GDEM) • 23,000 1x1 degree tiles • 30 m postings • Released June 2009 • Available thru LPDAAC & GDS • Free to ALL users • Version 2 to be released Spring 2011

  13. Baja California April 4 Earthquake, M=7.2

  14. Baja California April 4 Earthquake, M=7.2 Sub-pixel co-registration of before and after ASTER images allows determination of displacements between images. The results indicate ~4m of right-lateral offset, and ~1 m vertical offset. This is in agreement with several field observations. Courtesy Dr. Sebastien Leprince, Caltech
