EarthScope Technical Short Courses

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.

This course helps EarthScope short course instructors learn how to use Moodle, our Learning Management System. You'll explore how to create engaging courses, manage content, and track learner progress. The course also includes guidance on writing clear learning goals and objectives to align course content with desired outcomes. Discover tools for adding videos, quizzes, readings, and other resources, as well as tips for assessing and supporting learners. Whether you're new to Moodle or want a refresher, this course will guide you step-by-step to confidently use this powerful platform.
