Journal ArticleDOI
The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission
Tom G. Farr,Paul A. Rosen,Edward R. Caro,Robert E. Crippen,Riley M. Duren,Scott Hensley,M. Kobrick,Mimi Paller,Ernesto Rodriguez,L. Roth,David Seal,S. Shaffer,Joanne Shimada,Jeffrey W. Umland,Marian Werner,Michael E. Oskin,Douglas W. Burbank,Douglas Alsdorf +17 more
TL;DR: The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission produced the most complete, highest-resolution digital elevation model of the Earth, using dual radar antennas to acquire interferometric radar data, processed to digital topographic data at 1 arc sec resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results suggest that during Neogene time the underthrusting Indian crust has acted as a plunger, displacing the molten middle crust to the north while at the same time contributing to this layer by melting and ductile flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring surface water from space
TL;DR: The Water and Terrestrial Elevation Recovery mission (WER) as discussed by the authors is a satellite-based approach to estimate the elevation of the water surface (h), its slope (∂h/∂x), and its temporal change.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Future of Earth Observation in Hydrology.
Matthew F. McCabe,Matthew Rodell,Douglas Alsdorf,Diego G. Miralles,Remko Uijlenhoet,Wolfgang Wagner,Arko Lucieer,Rasmus Houborg,Niko E. C. Verhoest,Trenton E. Franz,Jiancheng Shi,Huilin Gao,Eric F. Wood +12 more
TL;DR: In just the past five years, the field of Earth observation has progressed beyond the offerings of conventional space agency based platforms to include a plethora of sensing opportunities afforded by CubeSats, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, and smartphone technologies that are being embraced by both for-profit companies and individual researchers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bright Spots, Structure, and Magmatism in Southern Tibet from INDEPTH Seismic Reflection Profiling
Lawrence D. Brown,Wenjin Zhao,K. D. Nelson,M. Hauck,Douglas Alsdorf,A. Ross,M. Cogan,Marin K. Clark,Xianwen Liu,Jinkai Che +9 more
TL;DR: Independence seismic reflection profiling shows that the decollement beneath which Indian lithosphere underthrusts the Himalaya extends at least 225 kilometers north of the Himalayan deformation front to a depth of ∼50 kilometers.
