Advancing Arctic Sea Ice Monitoring using Next-Generation Radar Satellite — This project focuses on improving Arctic sea ice monitoring from satellite technology. By combining C-band and L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery and developing a machine learning algorithm, the project aims to enhance the accuracy of sea ice information. Collaboration with international institutions and access to data from the upcoming NASA-ISRO SAR mission (NISAR) will contribute to the project's success. The research team will also gather field data to validate the satellite observations. Ultimately, the project will advance our understanding of sea ice and provide more reliable information for the Canadian Arctic.
