I think it is something I queried back to site but kind of lost hold of:
NASA-ISRO SAR Mission Applications Workshop: Linking The Applied Science Co mmunity to Mission Data When: October 13-15, 2015 Where: NASA Ames Conference Center, Moffett Field, CA
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data can and has been applied to a diverse s et of land and water resource management and survey problems; these include post-disaster damage assessment, volcano and landslide hazard assessment, urban and structural monitoring, permafrost degradation, wetlands water lev el change, ocean wind measurements, sea-ice motion and ship detection, sea- level rise, vegetation disturbances, groundwater induced land deformation, and agricultural land use. The NASA-ISRO SAR mission (NISAR), an L- and S-b and SAR satellite with a global observation plan, is engaging the applied s cience community in annual workshops, the second of which will be held in O ctober 2015.
This workshop will focus on constructing a 5-year roadmap for developing th e suite of products and software to support the needs of the diverse NISAR applied science end-user community, and to clearly establish guidelines wit h regard to Project support of applications and data latency to clearly set expectations. To develop this roadmap, we will identify current and planne d activities for 'communities of practice' (groups already using SAR data t o support their management or decision-making needs) and 'communities of po tential' (groups with ideas or prototypes for using SAR data). Workshop par ticipants will identify key activities (e.g., research/technology developme nt, software or product development, training campaigns) that can be used t o guide NASA and the NISAR project, as well as other agencies and private s ector investments in the years leading up to NISAR's launch.
