2013 UAVSAR Workshop (March 26 & 27)

The UAVSAR Project was pleased to present our first science workshop, where we presented the latest status of the project, exchanged science results and ideas amongst current investigators, and brainstormed future focuses of the project and potential collaborations. All present and future UAVSAR data users were invited to participate in this two-day workshop at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, CA.
