Abstract :
The Canadian Department of National Defence (DND) is cleaning up and remediating environmental hazards at former Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line sites located across the Canadian Arctic. The DEW Line Clean-Up proof of concept project is underway, to determine if space-based Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data can be used for landfill monitoring at these DEW Line sites. Interferometric time series of RADARSAT-2 Spotlight mode images have been acquired over four former DEW Line sites, and preliminary results show that two-colour multi-view (2CMV) and coherent change detection (CCD) products are useful for detecting change in and around landfills.
