Cover Story: Space-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has the capability to image subsurface features down to several meters in arid regions. A first demonstration of this capability was performed in the early eighties, thanks to the first Shuttle Imaging Radar mission. Global coverage provided by more recent SARs, such as the Japanese ALOS/PALSAR sensor, allowed the mapping of vast ancient hydrographic systems. We present a summary of palaeohydrography results obtained using space-borne radars over large deserts such as the Sahara and Gobi, and show the potentials of future low frequency SAR missions…View Full-Text.
