Rolf-Ole Rydeng Jenssen

Master of Science Rolf-Ole Rydeng Jenssen will Tuesday May 11th at 12:15 publically defend his thesis for the PhD degree in Science

Title of the thesis:

«Radar System Development for Drone Borne Applications with Focus on Snowpack Parameters»

 

Popular scientific abstract:

A complete representation of the Arctic cryosphere has historically been restricted by its remoteness, large extent, and restrictions in measurement methods and equipment. This thesis presents the development of a small and lightweight radar-system developed for drone-mounted snow measurements.

 

The thesis is published in Munin and is available at: https://hdl.handle.net/10037/21043

 

Supervisors:

  • Professor Svein Ketil Jacobsen, Department of Physics and Technology, UiT (main supervisor)
