His research career has focused on the development of novel instrumentation with applications to passive and active remote sensing of terrain, ocean, sea and glacial ice, and the atmosphere. He has authored numerous book chapters, journal articles, and conference papers in the area of remote sensing. This type of remote sensing is called active microwave, or radar. This same technology is used to track aircraft, ships, and speeding automobiles. As with passive microwave energy, the physical properties of objects at the earth's surface determine the amount and characteristics of microwave radiation bounced back to the sensor. Remote sensing instruments are of two primary typesactive and passive. Active sensors, provide their own source of energy to illuminate the objects they observe. An active sensor emits radiation in the direction of the target to be investigated. The sensor then detects and measures the radiation.
