The satellite will measure the health of wetlands from ground deformation by volcanoes to the dynamics of land and sea ice," NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said in a press release.
NISAR, the radar satellite, set to be launched this year in joint collaboration with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and US space agency National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), will measure some key Earth vital signs, including the health of wetlands, ground deformation by volcanoes, and the dynamics of land and sea ice.
It will measure the health of wetlands from ground deformation by volcanoes to the dynamics of land and sea ice," NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said in a press release.
This will help researchers decipher how small-scale processes can cause monumental changes in the ice sheets covering Antarctica and Greenland, as well as on mountain glaciers and sea ice around the world.
