Glacier and Ice Shelves Studies Using Satellite SAR Interferometry
Satellite radar interferometry is a powerful technique to measure the surface velocity and topography of glacier ice. On ice shelves, a quadruple difference technique separates tidal motion from the steady creep flow deformation of ice.

Novel Wide Field-of-view Laser Retroreflector for the Space Interferometry Mission
A new type of laser retroreflector has been developed for JPL's future Space Interferometry Mission. The retroreflector consists of an assembly of prisms to form multiple hollow cornercubes. This way the limited field of view (FOV) of about 60deg of a single corner can be overcome, to comply with the geometry of an optical truss.

Geological interpretations of the topography of selected regions of Venus from Arecibo to Goldstone radar interferometry
We report on the geological interpretation of the mapping analysis of several successful radar experiments, which are part of a program to generate a high resolution digital elevation model (DEM) of the equatorial region of Venus between Phoebe Regio and far western Ovda Regio. These experiments used radar interferometry with Arecibo transmitting and Goldstone receiving.

Dynamic Deformation of Etna Volcano Observed by Satellite Radar Interferometry
This study demonstrates that radar interferometry provides an important contribution towards understanding the dynamic deformation of volcanoes. By revealing large scale changes in their pre-eruption deformation rates, radar interfeometery could play an important role in volcano eruption monitoring.
