瑞典查爾姆斯理工大學: 雷達遙感專業博士后職位招聘

A) Postdoctoral researcher in radar remote sensing of sea ice dynamics The drift of sea ice influences the distribution of heat and salinity in ice-covered ocean regions and is important for modelling and monitoring of the polar regions. Information about drift and deformation of sea ice is also important for ship navigation as well as coastal and offshore activities. Satellite radar is used for observations of sea ice and algorithms for determination of drift and deformation are being developed. These algorithms will be further developed, tested and applied.

A major part of the research is funded by the European Space Agency and will be conducted in the project “Synergistic Use of L- and C-band SAR Satellites for Sea Ice Monitoring”. One goal of this project is to use information about sea ice drift and deformation to align images from different satellites, which in turn will allow comparison of sensor capabilities and assessment of enhanced sea ice classification and monitoring.

Tasks of the project include: - Improvement, implementation and testing of algorithms for observation of sea ice drift and deformation with synthetic aperture radar (SAR). - Definition, implementation and validation of strategies for alignment of SAR images from different satellites to one another -Investigation of the effect of the time difference between SAR data acquisitions on the alignment process for different sea ice regions / ice conditions. - Assessment of the usefulness of sea ice drift and deformation for selected applications

Position summary: The position is a one-year full-time temporary employment. The possibility to extend the position to two years depends on available funding. Expected start date is 1 September, 2020.

B) Postdoctoral researcher in radar remote sensing of forest dynamics Climate change is affecting the Earth's forests and new research is needed in observational techniques that will increase the knowledge of how forest ecosystems are developing. Ground-based and satellite measurements in combination with statistical retrieval algorithms are needed to address this challenge. Chalmers offers a unique research environment which focuses on using advanced microwave instruments to measure relevant variables using equipment installed on different platforms (tower, aircraft and satellites).

The research project is centred around the BorealScat tower radar, which acquires time series of electromagnetic reflectivity at a boreal forest site in southern Sweden. The objective of the research is to study the influence of weather and moisture on the radar measurements. BorealScat is a multi- frequency, multi-polarization radar based on a 20-port vector network analyzer which operates in tomographic and Doppler modes. The main aim of the research project is to develop new observational methods using radar for quantifying the forest-atmosphere water exchange. To fulfil the aims, the project will relocate BorealScat to an ICOS (Integrated Carbon Observation System) eddy covariance flux tower site in order to make use of existing infrastructures and exploit scientific synergies. The project is funded by Vetenskapsrådet (Swedish Research Council).

Position summary: The position is a two-year full-time temporary employment.

C) Postdoctoral researcher in radar remote sensing of ocean surface dynamics Accurate information about sea surface currents is important for a number of applications, including ocean modelling, ship navigation and monitoring of oil spill, plastic, algae bloom and plankton. Despite the clear need, there are few operational observations of sea surface currents. Satellite observations of sea surface currents are therefore highly desirable.

The objective of the research is to assess alternative methods for satellite observations of submesoscale ocean surface dynamics with a focus on coastal areas and marginal seas. The main sensor, used to retrieve the ocean parameters, is Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). The project is funded by the Swedish National Space Agency.

Tasks of the project will include - Development of an algorithm for retrieval of ocean surface current, waves and wind from satellite SAR - Implementation and assessment of the Doppler Centroid Analysis method. - Assessment and validation of the derived ocean parameters against in-situ data. - Assessment of the usefulness of currents from satellite for selected applications

Position summary: The position is a two-year full-time temporary employment.

Major responsibilities Your main responsibility as post-doctoral researcher will be to perform your own research within the aims and tasks mentioned in the project information above.
