2018 Virtual Short Course: InSAR Data Interpretation and Analysis for Nonspecialists @GSA Survey

This short course was organized in response to recommendations by the UNAVCO Community to increase the number of scientists who would use data from the UNAVCO supported instrumentation and data. This evaluation form is designed to 1) measure whether the course achieved this goal and 2) to gather information on how we can improve this course in the future.

We would appreciate your feedback to help measure the effectiveness of the Short Course. Please fill out this short survey; it is optional.
