Rapid population growth and an increasing demand for water has been depleting groundwater resources in the Central Valley of California for decades. The lack of sufficient ground monitoring networks poses serious challenges to water management efforts and puts the sustainability of groundwater resources at risk. This seminar will demonstrate how the satellite remote sensing techniques of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) can be applied to monitor groundwater resources and aquifer response to drought. The final part of this seminar will describe how GA is currently trialling the demonstrated methods as remote groundwater monitoring tools in the Great Artesian Basin of Australia.
