Evaluating Multi-Temporal DInSAR Measurements of Ground Surface Deformation Around the Rhenish Coalfields in Germany Using Sentinel-1 SAR Imagery
(University of Waterloo, 2021-06-01)Ground surface deformation caused by land subsidence is a critical aspect when assessing safety and environmental impacts of open-pit mining operations. These mining-induced deformations can cause severe damage to local ... -
An Investigation into the Effects of Variable Lake Ice Properties on Passive and Active Microwave Measurements Over Tundra Lakes Near Inuvik, N.W.T.
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-30)The accurate estimation of snow water equivalent (SWE) in the Canadian sub-arctic is integral to climate variability studies and water availability forecasts for economic considerations (drinking water, hydroelectric power ... -
Monitoring Rainwater Harvesting Systems in India Using Satellite Remote Sensing Observations
(University of Waterloo, 2018-10-26)The building of small reservoirs is a typical measure taken by farmers to moderate the extremes of the hydrologic regime of a semiarid climate, which is characterized by the alternation of a short rainy season with long ... -
Temporal Deep Learning Approach to Bedfast and Floating Thermokarst Lake Ice Mapping using SAR imagery: Old Crow Flats, Yukon, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-17)Lake ice is a fundamental part of the freshwater processes in cold regions and a sensitive indicator of climate change. As such, in light of the recent climate warming, monitoring of lake ice in arctic and sub-arctic regions ... -
Toward Automated Ice-Water Classification on Large Northern Lakes Using RADARSAT-2 Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-22)Changes to ice cover on lakes throughout the northern landscape has been established as an indicator of climate change and variability. These changes are expected to have implications for both human and environmental ...
