DESDynI
DESDynI (Deformation, Ecosytem Structure and Dynamics of Ice) is a dedicated U.S. InSAR and LIDAR mission optimized for studying hazards and global environmental change.
Mission objectives:
- Determine the likelihood of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides.
- Predict the response of ice sheets to climate change and impact on the sea level.
- Characterize the effects of changing climate and land use on species habitats and carbon budget.
- Monitor the migration of fluids associated with hydrocarbon production and groundwater resources.
