On-Demand Workshop

Leveraging Sentinel-1 for Agricultural Insights 

 

Access On-Demand Workshop

Workshop details

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a novel dataset that enables deep exploration across a broad range of agricultural applications. But working with powerful SAR sensors like Sentinel-1 can be challenging, often requiring significant processing to derive valuable insights.

In this recorded technical workshop, we explore globally processed Sentinel-1 (S1) SAR and InSAR data products available on the Descartes Labs Platform. We've simplified working with S1 data by processing the entire catalog available from the European Space Agency (ESA), from raw data (SLCs) to a variety of derived level 1 and 2 data products. These data products enable rapid iteration in research and development workflows. We examine how users can best access and interact with them to build meaningful agronomic applications.
