2 Centre for Remote Imaging, Sensing and Processing (CRISP) A university level research centre of the National University of Singapore Established in Late 1992 with funding from the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) Started operation in September 1995 with the completion of the satellite receiving ground station. CRISP s Mission: to develop an advanced capability in remote sensing to meet the scientific, operational and business requirements of Singapore and the region.

3 13m Antenna (Installed in 1995)

16 Radar Interferogram of Haiti Earthquake Strong displacement Léogane Grand-Goâve Petit-Goâve Interferogram produced from ALOS PALSAR Data Processed by CRISP, National University of Singapore This interferogram of Haiti was obtained by processing PALSAR radar images acquired by the ALOS satellite. It shows the area hit by the 12 January 2010 earthquake. Each colour cycle denotes a 11.8 cm motion in the direction of the satellite s line of sight. Close fringes denote strong displacement.

17 Research at CRISP Coastal and Inland Water remote sensing Optical properties of inland and coastal sea waters Characterization of suspended sediment particles Sediment transport Detection and characterization of phytoplankton Inland and coastal water quality in Singapore and SE Asia waters Shallow water bathymetry Mapping coastal habitats (Mangroves, sea grass, corals, etc.)

18 WorldView-2 Image Mapping coastal environment Physics-based models used to derive water depth and sea bottom albedo from a satellite image. Water depth Sea bottom vegetation index

19 Research at CRISP: Atmospheric remote sensing Radiative transfer in atmosphere Atmospheric correction of satellite data Characterization of aerosol particles Air quality in Singapore and SE Asia Aerosol transport Clouds properties

20 AERONET Station at NUS Ground-based monitoring of aerosols A worldwide network of standardised and calibrated sunphotometers established and coordinated by NASA (USA) and LOA (France). The program provides a long-term, continuous and readily accessible public domain database of aerosol optical, mircrophysical and radiative properties for aerosol research and characterization, validation of satellite retrievals, and synergism with other databases.

21 Micro-pulse Lidar for aerosol and cloud characterization In co-operation with NASA and NRL
