2020 InSAR Processing and Theory with GMTSAR
Course Information
- Dates: June 29; July 1, 10, 17, 22-23, 27, 2020
- Times: Varies per day, see Agenda below
- Location: Online via Zoom
- Registration: Registration is closed
Information on UNAVCO's response to COVID-19
This short course will be offered in a virtual format only.
This course will cover the theory and application of InSAR processing with GMTSAR. Lectures and exercises will be given to teach the basic theoretical aspects of InSAR. Labs will include software installation, running test data sets for standard interferogram formation as well as more advanced processing for time series with Sentinel-1A TOPS-mode data. Those unfamiliar with the software package GMT are encouraged to also attend the Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) for Geodesy short course.
This course does not have a registration fee.
Participants will apply to participate as we expect demand to exceed capacity. Decisions will be made on responses to prompts in the application. Priority will be given to applicants from UNAVCO member institutions and who need the training to conduct research in the next year. (Check to see if your institution is a member of the UNAVCO consortium.)

Computers and Data
Students will use their own UNIX capable laptop computer with at least 12 Gbytes of memory and 40 Gbytes of free disk space.
Computer code, documentation, and sample data sets can be downloaded from the following sites:
- http://topex.ucsd.edu/gmtsar
- Installation of GMT5 and GMT5SAR
- Students should apply for WInSAR data access through their University representative (http://winsar.unavco.org/membership/institutions) or apply for access through WInSAR and the Alaska Satellite Facility. Students are strongly encouraged to install the GMTSAR software prior to the workshop and should seek assistance from the instructors.
