G13A:
The Role of Geodesy and Remote Sensing in Preparedness, Hazard Monitoring, and Disaster Response I


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 57972

Session Description:
The past decade has seen order-of-magnitude improvements in the spatial and temporal resolutions, geographical coverage, and open accessibility of geodetic data and other remotely-sensed imagery. This session will explore how these technologies can further enhance the preparedness, monitoring, and rapid response to natural and anthropogenic hazards and disasters. These include earthquakes, tsunami, volcanic unrest and eruption, slope instabilities and failures, hurricanes, coastal subsidence, flooding, and wildfires. Challenges include processing, modeling and analyzing large 2-D, 3-D and 4-D datasets; differentiating geophysically and/or societally-meaningful signals that may be small and transient from ‘noise’; coordinating efforts across and beyond the geodesy community; and communicating results with government agencies and the general public. We seek contributions spanning the full suite of measurements (e.g. surface reflectance, texture, coherence, displacement, and topography), sensors (optical, lidar, radar, GNSS), and platforms (satellite, airborne, unmanned, terrestrial). We welcome a breadth of perspectives from scientists, engineers, geophysical agencies, and others.
