<h1>Summer courses</h1>
<p><img class="align_right" src="img/geometric_distortions.gif" width="300" height="223" alt="Animation explaining geometric distortion" />In 2005 I initiated two summer courses covering the principles and applications of SAR and InSAR, each of them one week long. These courses have been offered every year since then and more than 100 students have already benefited from these offerings. The courses drew from a wide audience, from internal UAF graduate students, over national agencies and companies, to international students from Germany, Japan, Russia, Scotland and Thailand.</p>
<p>Mornings include theoretical lectures. Afternoons include hands on experience with data and software tools. This course format is certainly very intense but well appreciated and attended by professionals that do not have the luxury to attend a semester long course at UAF.</p>
<br />
<h1>Seminar series</h1>
<p><img class="align_right" src="img/asf_seminar.png" width="300" height="219" alt="ASF seminar webpage" />In 2002, I initiated the ASF seminar series which initially included short, half-an-hour technical presentations. The goal was to enhance the SAR related knowledge within ASF and to give colleagues within the Geophysical Institute the chance to learn more about SAR. In the meantime we have had presentations on the basics of SAR and InSAR as well as some of their applications. I broadened the scope of the seminar to include presentations on broader remote sensing and GIS topics. The seminar is now also available as a <a href="geos692/syllabus.pdf">credited course</a>.</p>
<p>I have given a number of presentations myself. The slides of these presentations can be found below.</p>
