CR6.6 | Radar investigations of icy and rocky (sub)surfaces
Radar investigations of icy and rocky (sub)surfaces
Co-organized by PS7
Convener: Anja RutishauserECSECS | Co-conveners: Rebecca Schlegel, Renée Mie Fredensborg Hansen, Kirk M. Scanlan, Kristian Chan

Radar is a prominent tool for studying ice on Earth and is becoming widespread on other planetary bodies. In this session, we hope to bring together all those interested in radar data and analysis to showcase their work, take inspiration from each other and develop new (interdisciplinary) collaborations. We aim for this session to encompass various targets, instruments and applications, such as:

- Targets: snow, firn, land ice, sea ice, lake ice, river ice and permafrost on Earth as well as the surfaces and interiors of Mars, Europa, Ganymede, The Moon, Titan, Venus, Small bodies, etc.

- Instruments: airborne and spaceborne sounders, altimeters, SAR and passive microwave radiometers as well as drones, GPR, ApRES, pRES and other radars.
Acquisition and processing: hardware, passive measurements, datasets, algorithm development, etc.

- Analysis and interpretation techniques: reflectometry, interferometry, thermometry, specularity, EM simulations, inversion, etc.

- Applications: investigations in surface-, englacial, subglacial and proglacial areas, scattering interfaces, roughness, hydrology, geothermal heat flux, material properties, fabric, modelling/supporting lab work, Earth and extraterrestrial analogs/synergies, etc.

We especially encourage the participation of Early Career Researchers and those from underrepresented groups.
