Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit an abstract to AGU26 Session G022: "The NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) Mission – Early Results in Geodesy" to be held at the AGU Fall Meeting, 7–11 December 2026, in San Francisco, CA.
The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) Mission, launched successfully on July 30, 2025, began collecting all land and ice-covered surfaces every 12 days from ascending and descending orbit vantage points in early November 2025, and has released the global dataset in July 2026. The data are freely and openly distributed from the NASA Alaska Satellite Facility within days of acquisition. NISAR's consistent 12-day cadence, global coverage, potential improvement in coherence from L-band observations, and unique left-looking geometry make it a valuable tool for addressing fundamental questions in geodesy, including surface deformation measurements of processes that drive the earthquake cycle, volcanic inflation, landslides, and groundwater flux.
Our invited speakers: David Sandwell and Howard Zebker
We welcome contributions from those who have started to experiment with early NISAR datasets, evaluating their quality and showcasing early results, with a focus on the potential these data hold for scientific discovery.
Abstract submission deadline: Wednesday, August 5, 2026, 23:59 EDT.
Submit your abstract: https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu26/prelim.cgi/Home/0
We look forward to your contributions.
Best regards,
Ekaterina Tymofyeyeva, Emre Havazli, Yuankun Xu, and Molly Zebker
