Session Description Synthetic Aperture Radar is one of the ideal tools to extract information on environment and vulnerability of the Earth with high resolution and precision. This session discusses various phenomena including, but not limited to, earthquakes, volcanic activities, landslides, land subsidence, hydrological and meteorological disasters, ionospheric disturbance, and deformation of engineering structures, to gain more insights into the technique of extracting signals as well as the interpretation of the observed signals. We also encourage theoretical contributions from radar engineering to enhance our capability of detecting meaningful signals.
