Title: Atmospheric Correction for InSAR: Challenges and Future Directions
Speaker: Tamer ElGharbawi, Suez Canal University, Egypt
Moderator: Michael Schmitt
Abstract: Atmospheric delay is a major source of error in interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), affecting the accuracy of measurements. Over time, various methods have been developed to reduce these errors, including numerical weather modeling, advanced processing techniques, the use of GNSS data, and, more recently, artificial intelligence. This lecture provides an overview of the main approaches for atmospheric correction, discusses the challenges involved, and explores possible future improvements in this field.
Speaker's Bio: Dr. Tamer ElGharbawi is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Engineering, Suez Canal University, Egypt. He holds a PhD in Civil and Earth Resources Engineering from Kyoto University, Japan, specializing in remote sensing and geospatial data analysis. His research focuses on the development and applications of remote sensing techniques, such as land subsidence, climate change effects, atmospheric corrections in InSAR data, and the application of machine learning to geospatial problems.
