2004 Summary:
The objective of this research is to establish the abilities of the radar method to detect vertical land deformation compared to traditional methods. Researchers will measure the topography of a target area in both June and August. During those months, researchers will also capture radar images of the same area. The topographical measurements will be compared to the radar images to determine the e...
