Ground-based radar interferometry (GBRI) is a remote sensing imaging technique based on coherent radar systems, which can measure not only the amplitude, but also the phase of the microwave signals. The phase measurements can then be exploited to derive information on the deformation and topography

The Waiapu River is one of the most dynamic rivers in New Zealand (East Coast of the North Island), with the highest sediment yields in the country. A relatively weak lithologic substrate, historic land clearance, and rare but intense extra-tropical cyclones have resulted in exceptionally high rates

This seminar will explore how to use raster data (e.g. ortophotos, DTMs), and vector data (e.g. thematic polygons), in both OGC protocols (WMS, WMTS, WFS, WCS) and REST services. We'll also see how REST services can be used in geoprocessing workflows or to download selected datasets for offline use.
