2014 UAVSAR Workshop (October 30 & 31)

The UAVSAR Project is pleased to present our second user workshop, where we will feature presentations and tutorials by UAVSAR Principal Investigators, who will share scientific results derived from UAVSAR data as well as their experience in UAVSAR experiment design, processing strategies, and data interpretation for their research in volcanic deformation, earthquakes, land subsidence, vegetation structure, and soil moisture. All present and future UAVSAR data users are invited to participate in this two-day workshop at the USGS in Reston, VA (following the NISAR Applications Workshop).
