Free GIS and Remote Sensing Resources Series: Week 1: Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) (NASA ARSET)
On behalf of the Pacific GIS and Remote Sensing Council (PGRSC), we are pleased to announce the start of our weekly posts to promote free GIS and remote sensing resources (webinars, instructional videos, technical manuals, e-books, etc.) to increase capacity, awareness, and skill development for the Pacific Islands geospatial community. PGRSC is more than just an annual conference, we have mission objectives to:
– Promote the development of GIS and Remote Sensing (RS) data, technologies, methods and services for the pacific region;
– Enable collaboration and share lessons learnt across regional agencies and commercial parties;
– Discuss and establish methods in building adaptation for the Pacific environment for solutions working already well outside the region;
– Manage the distribution, publication and awareness of conference outcomes;
– Establish robust links with other GIS, RS and scientific bodies regionally and globally.
Week 1: Have you ever seen or heard about Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) but were confused on what it actually is or how to use it? NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program has a free three-part webinar series on SAR and its uses. The videos are self paced and use free software (ESA SNAP). The videos and training series can be found here:

We hope that these materials are beneficial to you. Please let us know if you have a free GIS or remote sensing resource that you would like to promote as well so others can learn from them.
