| Title: Monitoring of Ocean State with GNSS Reflectometry | |
| Abstract: GNSS reflectometry (GNSS-R) is a new remote sensing technology which is operable under all weather conditions. GNSS-R is cost-effective since the GNSS signals are free for use and are available anytime and anywhere on the globe. A wide range of geophysical parameters of land and ocean can be retrieved using GNSS-R. The focus of this talk is on the monitoring of ocean state with GNSS-R. In particular, we will talk about GNSS-R based wind speed estimation, sea surface altimetry, tsunami detection and parameter estimation, and sea ice detection. In addition to describing the fundamental principles of the estimation of the parameters, experimental results are also presented. | |
| Biography: Kegen Yu received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia, in 2003. He was awarded Hubei “One Hundred Talents Program” and received the honour of Distinguished Expert of Hubei Province in 2015. He is currently a Professor with the School of Environmental Science and Spatial Informatics, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou, China. Since 2011, he has been an Adjunct Professor with Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. He was with a number of universities and research organizations, including the University of Oulu, Oulu, Finland; the CSIRO ICT Center, Sydney, Australia; the University of New South Wales, Sydney; and Wuhan University, Wuhan, China. He has co-authored the book Ground-Based Wireless Positioning (Wiley-IEEE Press, 2009, a Chinese version of the book is also available) and another book Wireless Positioning: Principles and Practice (Springer, 2018), and has authored or co-authored over 100 refereed journal and conference papers including more than 50 SCI journal papers. He edited the book Positioning and Navigation in Complex Environments (IGI Global, 2018) and another book Indoor Positioning and Navigation (Science Press, 2018). His research interests include global-navigation-satellite-system reflectometry, ground-based and satellite-based positioning, and remote sensing. Dr. Yu served on the editorial boards of the EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AEROSPACE AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS, and the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON VEHICULAR TECHNOLOGY from 2013 to 2017. He was the Lead Guest Editor for a Special Issue of the Physical Communication on “Indoor Navigation and Tracking” and for a Special Issue of the EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing on “GNSS remote sensing.” | |
