Course description: The course will be structured in 5 modules (see also attached detailed program)
Module 1: Using time-variable gravity from the GRACE satellite mission to recover hydrological signals (J. Wahr)
Module 2: The use of satellite radar altimetry to monitor the earth's inland water resources (P. Berry)
Module 3: High spatial resolution hydrological monitoring using InSAR observations (S. Wdowinski)
Module 4: Coupling time-lapse gravity and hydrological models (P. Bauer-Gottwein/O.Andersen)
Module 5: Research Symposium
Læringsmål:
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
Use space-borne and ground based time-lapse gravity observations,
Use space-borne and ground based time-lapse gravity observations,
Estimate Time-lapse gravity of total water storage change in the earth system.
Provide Radar/Lidar altimetry time series of water level elevations in rivers, lakes and reservoirs and use InSAR to map soil moisture and wetland water levels.
focus on the theoretical basis of the methods, data acquisition and processing.
Put the quantitative use of the data in a generalized hydrogeophysical approach.
Run hydrological Models to convert the output to synthetic geodetic signals.
Compare the synthetic and observed geodetic signals and adjust hydrological model parameters to produce optimal fit.
Kursusindhold:
The course will have a duration of five days. Four of the days will be a class room course with up to 20 course participants. On the fifth day we will organise a Mini-Symposium where research findings from the field are presented and discussed.
Litteratur:
The course material will include lecture notes, reports, journal articles and computer code. Optional reading will be provided for PhD students with limited background in specific subjects. All course material and the final assignment will be made accessible online.
Mulighed for GRØN DYST deltagelse:
Kontakt underviseren for information om hvorvidt dette kursus giver den studerende mulighed for at lave eller forberede et projekt som kan deltage i DTUs studenterkonference om bæredygtighed, klimateknologi og miljø (GRØN DYST). Se mere på http://www.groendyst.dtu.dk/kursustilmelding.aspx
