Application description
CHanges of Environment with Remote Sensing
CHERS objective is running remote sensing packages for evaluation of environmental changes. Evaluation of changes on vegetation and other environment and climate parameters may be done using images from LANDSAT, MODIS etc. For evaluation of vertical movements of the ground Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) interferometry is required, through which digital elevation model of the terrain must be firstly calculated using satellite radar data, and phase interferometry comparing data from different years must be used to identify vertical movements of the ground, which are important for environmental assessment of wetland seashore areas and landslide areas.
Scientific and Social Impact
Improvement of methodologies and practices for environmental studies using remote sensing techniques. Results may help specific communities living in areas where strong environmental changes are happening, with impact in economical and social life.
Collaboration
Polytechnic University of Tirana (AL), Institute of Water, Energy and Environment in Tirana (AL), Institute for Parallel Processing of BAS (BG)
Grid Implementation
The application will use the ESIP platform from JRA1 for the job submission and services orchestration
