Announcing the 2021 CATALYST Remote Sensing Young Scholar Recipient
ADAM GAUDREAU
Adam completed his undergraduate thesis project using CATALYST InSAR software to assess the applicability of Sentinel-1 imagery for D-InSAR displacement analysis. His project identified the suitability of this technique as compared to previous higher resolution analysis (using RADARSAT-2), providing a viable alternative to mapping the effects of displacement to critical infrastructures in Iqaluit and Rankin Inlet, Nunavut.
