PhD position: Remote Sensing in Hydrology Georgia Institute of Technology

Start date: January 2021.

A PhD position is available in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). The position is part of the project "Soil Moisture Dynamics And Water Fluxes In The Amazon Basin During Dry Periods And Droughts-An Application of SMAP Observations" funded by NASA. The successful applicant will join the Prof. Jingfeng Wang research group and will collaborate with project partners at JPL (Andreas Colliander) and the LBNL (Robinson Negron-Juarez).

The main objective of the project is to produce process-based algorithms to improve SMAP soil moisture observations in the Amazon using extensive field data. Experience in field campaigns, excellent communication and writing skills, and programing knowledge (Fortran and python) are needed for this position. Trips to the Amazon rain forest will be part of this position too.

Please check the Georgia Tech home page for details about the graduate student program requirements ([http://grad.gatech.edu/degree-programs](http://grad.gatech.edu/degree-programs)). For specific details about the position please contact Prof. Jingfeng Wang at [Jingfeng.wang@ce.gatech.edu](mailto:Jingfeng.wang@ce.gatech.edu)

Filtering in Remote Sensing. Convolution. Edge enhancement. Low pass filter and High-pass filter Spatial filtering is a technique used in remote sensing to enhance the spatial resolution of an image. This is typically done by using a mathematical algorithm to process the raw data collected by the remote sensing instrument, with the goal of reducing noise and improving the overall quality of the image. Spatial frequency in remote sensing refers to the density of spatial details or features in an image. It is a measure of how quickly the intensity or brightness of an image changes over a given distance. High spatial frequency indicates a high density of fine details or edges in an image, while low spatial frequency indicates a low density of fine details or edges. Spatial frequency is an important concept in remote sensing because it can affect the ability to detect and interpret features in an image. It can also be used to evaluate the quality and usefulness of an image for certain type...

Slowly Flooding History One of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in the world, Hasankeyf, has been home to more than 20 cultures over the past 12,000 years. Assyrians carved caves into the surrounding limestone cliffs. Romans built a fortress to monitor crop and livestock transportation. Travelers on the Silk Road often stopped in the area to trade during the Middle Ages. Remnants of past cultures have been preserved for thousands of years in Hasankeyf, which was absorbed by the Ottoman Empire in the 1500s and has remained part of Turkey ever since. But those artifacts—thousands of human-made caves and hundreds of well-preserved medieval monuments—may soon be underwater. A new dam and reservoir threatens to drown the city. Located about 56 kilometers (35 miles) downstream of Hasankeyf, the 138-meter (453-foot) tall Ilisu Dam is expected to provide 1,200 megawatts of electricity (around 1.5 percent of Turkey's total power-generating capacity). The dam is part of Turkey...
