From Radar to Reality.Associating persistent scatterers to corresponding objects

Multi-epoch Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) is widely used to estimate displacements of selected scatterers from phase observations. However, their interpretation needs a connection to objects in the real world. <br/><br/>To associate InSAR scatterers to their corresponding geo-objects, it is necessary to (i) accurately estimate...

Modelling the Circular Polarisation of Earth-like Exoplanets

Circular polarisation is commonly induced through the multiple scattering of light by aerosols in a planetary atmosphere and the multiple reflection of light by a rough surface. More interestingly, light reflected by organisms displays unique spectral circular polarisation behaviour, presenting the possibility of circular polarimetry for the...

ZPEC - The Zodiacal Dust Polarization Evaluation Code

The habitability of exoplanets is determined by their surface properties and atmospheres, spectropolarimetry is a powerful tool to characterize these. Numerical models can be used to simulate the polarimetric signals of these exoplanets, but these computed signals have to be compared with observations. The best test-case for such a comparison is...

Seismic redatuming with transmission loss correction in complex media

Traditionally redatuming algorithms disregard amplitude information carried by seismic reflections, they focus just on traveltime information. Properly processing amplitude information requires much more computing resources. We develop an algorithm for redatuming that aims to preserve amplitude information. We aim to observe energy conservation...
