Cover Story: There is an increased interest in exploiting novel interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) techniques for Earth observation activities. However, InSAR measurements, such as coherence, have not been widely explored for Arctic tundra land cover classification. Thus, in this study, we assessed a time-series of dual-polarimetric Sentinel-1A SAR/InSAR, along with topographic data, for mapping the Mackenzie Delta region. SAR intensity and coherence time–series patterns were used to characterize six hydro-ecological cover types defined by their structure (e.g., graminoid, or woody) and hydrology (e.g., wet, or dry). Our study established a machine learning methodology capable of deriving this critical hydro-ecological information which will be important to update over forthcoming seasons due to accelerated warming of the climate.
