InSAR_training

Some resources for InSAR training courses that I run.

Things_to_do_before_the_InSAR_course.pdf

• If you need to set up WSL2 for Linux emulation on a Windows 11 machine, instructions are here
• Also covers how to set up NASA EarthData and Copernicus accounts

InSAR_environment_setup.pdf

• How to set up the conda environments used in the training
• Includes how to make use of the InSAR.yml conda/mamba requirements file

simple_hyp3_setup_for_MintPy.ipynb

• A Jupyter notebook on how to prepare, ingest and analyze processed interferograms from the HyP3 system operated by the ASF
• Uses the MintPy software (installed with the conda environment) to compute InSAR time series and velocities

load_and_export_velocity_data_hyp3.ipynb

• A Jupyter notebook that can export InSAR velocities from MintPy as GeoTIFFs so that they can be loaded into GIS software

load_and_extract_timeseries_hyp3.ipynb

• A Jupyter notebook that shows how to extract cumulative displacements, time-slices and double-differenced pixel time series from your MintPy-format time series

slides

• Some pdfs of presentation slides describing some of the background theory and details of SAR, InSAR, and InSAR time series
