Welcome to this EarthScope course on SAR Processing and Analysis (ISCE+)!

This course is designed to provide you with the background knowledge and skills to process, interpret and model InSAR data and time series, using the ISCE, ARIA-tools and MintPy softwares.

The course is divided into three parts:

• ‘Pre-course’ material that is largely self-directed, to be completed the week before the main course. There is also a pre-course survey to complete.

• The main course, which runs for five days, with four hours of live sessions every day

• A post-course survey and assessment

We also provide some supplementary materials, from past years of the course, that cover aspects that we do not have time to cover this year. We also will provide links to installation instructions for the software used in the class as part of the supplementary materials at the completion of the course.
