Alaska map

 Flight campaigns will be scheduled between mid-September and late November 2014. After an initial three day setup period (during which UAF personnel will be trained on the installation and operation of the SAR system and the SAR data processor), we expect to  be  flying  a series of experiments centered on  the following geoscience and hazards-related applications. All applications will be serviced within the boundaries of the following three supersites 

  • Vicinity of Fairbanks, Alaska (cal/val flights and lake science applications) 
  • Kenai Peninsula and nearby areas (forest fires; South Central EPSCoR Case; glaciology) 
  • Vicinity of Barrow Alaska (ocean currents; oil seeps; sea ice; thermokarst lakes)
