In this session, URSA’s Daniela Moody gives an introduction to SAR concepts to help us understand the basics of why RADAR is not only an incredible sensor but one that is so different from electro-optical imagery.

On July 25th the MV Wakashio bulk carrier went off course and grounded on a coral reef. Less than two weeks later the ship, carrying 4,000 tons of oil started leaking. Join URSA’s COO Julie Baker and Paul Frey in discussing how SAR imagery was used to monitor the crisis and how events unfolded surrounding the event.
