Pre-requisites	Advanced knowledge of Remote Sensing & Computer
Objectives	Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), owing to its advantage of cloud / haze penetration, day, night and all weather coverage, carries a great potential to be used in a variety of application areas. SAR uses different wavebands within microwave part of the electromagnetic spectrum, to identify and delineate various earth features/objects. Thus, this training course aims to provide understanding in radar remote sensing, impart knowledge and hands-on experience in SAR specific open source software for processing SAR imagery, acquaint participants with techniques of extracting information from SAR imagery products, familiarize participants with techniques of integrating SAR and optical data and share information about various applications of SAR imagery.
Contents of Course	Basic Concepts of SAR Imagery Past, Present and Future Radar Technologies Statistical Analysis and Interpretation of SAR Images Hands-on practice on SAR Data Processing Land Applications of SAR Ocean Application of SAR Principles of Radar Interferometry Understand/Read Interferograms Advanced SAR Applications

Objectives	Remote Sensing offers wide applications including Lithological discrimination, structural mapping, land form analysis, hydrogeology, environmental geosciences and mineral prospection. The synoptic coverage and multispectral information provided by the remotely sensed data have proved to be advantageous over conventional methods for geological mapping. It helps in visualizing the terrain as a whole for understanding the spatial relationship between different features. The aim of this training course is to impart knowledge and skills in utilization of Remote Sensing data for developing Geological applications. Geological maps composition and sharing of expertise in carrying out mineral prospection, ground water studies, and Geohazard monitoring projects will be covered along with necessary hands-on practical/demonstration.
