Using spaceborne SAR and ground-based measurements to identify spatial patterns in soil moisture and seasonal thaw timing in permafrost environments of Alaska

Using spaceborne SAR and ground-based measurements to identify spatial patterns in soil moisture and seasonal thaw timing in permafrost environments of Alaska

Spatiotemporal patterns in soil moisture play a critical role in the near-surface energy balance in permafrost regions, yet soil moisture detection in periglacial environments is complicated by highly heterogeneous terrain conditions. We integrate ground-based and spaceborne microwave methods to inv...
