June 13th, 2025 – 10:00-11:00am, EC4-2101A

Description: How do we observe and monitor abrupt environmental changes in lakes in Canada’s Arctic? What types of variables from the Cryosphere can we retrieve using remote sensing, and why is it important to observe them? In this VIP session, Dr. Grant Gunn will explore the importance of freshwater ice in the context of the physical and human aspects of a changing climate, and demonstrate current and future capabilities for snow and ice retrievals using a variety of sensors, (e.g. microwave, optical), techniques (e.g. polarimetric decomposition, interferometry) and technologies (e.g. synthetic aperture radar, google search engine)
