[STT35-01] Activities of PIXEL so far and in the future
★Invited Papers
Keywords:InSAR, Surface deformation
InSAR research community “PIXEL” (PALSAR Interferometry Consortium to Study our Evolving Land surface) has been established under the framework of the Specific Research Project (B) of Earthquake Research Institute, The University of Tokyo. PIXEL group consists of a lot of national researchers and their students, who study natural phenomena related to surface variation and/or InSAR analysis technology itself.
Among a lot of contributions that PIXEL has achieved for us, there are two contributions to be particularly noted: 1) SAR data archive and share under the cooperative research contract with JAXA, and 2) familiarization of basic InSAR analysis through a software free provision and hosting its lectures. Because of the framework of data provision, PIXEL members became easier to handle national satellite SAR images such as ALOS and ALOS-2 by PIXEL. This resulted in a lot of reviewed publications in both international/national scientific journals like, for instance, Nature Geoscience and Journal of Geophysical Research, whose number became close to 200. In addition, our activity for InSAR analysis skill prevalence largely contributes to increase InSAR user, especially for students, which is obvious in the number of presentations in past JpGU SAR session. Recently, PIXEL group started to cooperate with Next Generation Volcano Research (Theme B-2-1). PIXEL’s activity is getting more important than ever.
At the presentation, we will show what PIXEL did and will do.
