Field Experiences in Microwave Remote Sensing for Agricultural Hydrology April 24-27, 2018 || Gainesville, FL Early Bird Registration Deadline: February 28th Regular Registration Deadline: March 15th CUAHSI is pleased to partner with the University of Florida to offer a 4-day hands-on workshop on field experiences in microwave remote sensing for agricultural hydrology. Course Description This training workshop will provide hands-on experiences with field methods and sensors used in microwave remote sensing for retrieval of soil and vegetation parameters in agricultural land covers. The workshop will be conducted at a field-site of an ongoing season-long experiment to understand microwave signatures of growing vegetation. The field sensors include a suite of ground-based active and passive microwave sensors at L- and C-band; and sensors to observe various components of the water and energy balance. Specific topics to be covered during the workshop include: * Passive and active microwave remote sensing in hydrology - science and sensors * Operation and calibration of passive and active microwave sensors * Ancillary observations of water and energy balance * Soil and vegetation sampling protocols and data analysis * Soil and vegetation parameter retrieval * Open discussion on class participant interests Graduate students, post-docs, and professionals working in hydrology and/or remote sensing are invited to attend. The course will be held at the University of Florida<http://www.ufl.edu/> in Gainesville, FL. Included in the registration fee are course tuition, facilities costs, catered lunches and light refreshments.
