The GNSS-R Satellite Earth Observation (GLITTER) project harnesses the power of GNSS-R (Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry) for advanced Earth observation. This technique uses the reflections of GNSS signals off various surfaces - land, sea, and ice - to monitor environmental conditions. Our ambitious goal is to pioneer a new generation of experts capable of making significant advancements in this field through doctoral level education and research. At the heart of GLITTER is the development of a synchronized constellation of CubeSats, offering a cost-effective yet powerful approach to Earth observation. This innovative system allows for enhanced resolution and data accuracy through advanced beamforming techniques. Essential to our methodology are ground-truth data and calibration methods derived from near-field radar technology, which will enable comprehensive research across all facets of GNSS-R technology
Requirements:
A master’s degree or equivalent in geodesy, geophysics, remote sensing, applied mathematics or physics, computer science, telecommunication engineering with a focus on remote sensing and EO, or similar; Knowledge of remote sensing techniques preferably radar techniques; ideally experience in analyzing GNSS or EO data; Strong programming skills in MATLAB, Python or C++; Highly committed, excellent team-worker, and strong critical thinking; Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
