Conclusion
• RADARSAT 2 InSAR techniques have monitored the seasonal variability of landslide motion of different landslides affecting Canadian strategic transportation energy corridors. With the launch of the RADARSAT constellation, we will be able to monitor these high risk areas on a weekly basis for improved mitigation measures, thereby reducing the $M150/y we spend on repairs.
• The identification of impact crater melt breccias from the host rocks at the Haughton Crater based on R2 polarimetric signatures will lead to improved mapping of other impact craters.
