PhD Project: Application of Radar Altimetry and Multi Temporal Satellite Imagery to Confirm Climatic Changes Affecting Water Level of Caspian Sea
Research Interests: Caspian Sea (CS) has long been the focus of an interest due to its large water level fluctuations. The primary factors of the CS water level variations have usually been attributed to changes in climatic parameters. In order to test this hypothesis radar altimetry, multi temporal satellite imagery and climatic data will be utilized. Surface height of Caspian Sea will be estimated using radar altimetry data from Topex/Poseidon (T/P) and Jason-1 for a period from 1992 to 2007.
