Mapping Soil Moisture Content Using L-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar

Mapping Soil Moisture Content with L-Band Radar

The experiment demonstrated that ASTERRA EarthWorks, which provides soil moisture mapping to identify at-risk infrastructure, does indeed provide a useful and valuable new data set. This new data can locate areas of subsurface moisture that translates into drainage problems or geotechnical instabilities near critical infrastructure; individual locations can then be prioritized for investigation, inspection, and mitigation.
