As part of the GURA, he focused on remote sensing of Arctic snow and sea ice: specifically analyzing satellite data across multiple years from a geographical perspective to identify patterns and correlations. Kingson’s research aimed to discern the optimal Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) frequency for sea ice by investigating radar signatures derived from multi-frequency SAR imagery over the Beaufort Sea in the Arctic.</p> Wed, 27 Aug 2025 04:45:04 +0000 admin 5954 at /sociology /sociology/channels/news/spring-shoulder-season-364737 <p>We are entering the “spring shoulder season” from early April to May, the time of the year where we switch from heating our buildings to cooling them. During this transition, your workspace or study space may become warm when the outdoor temperature rises or feel cool if temperatures drop in the coming weeks. We also want to inform all building directors that this preparation prioritizes preventative maintenance activities related to upcoming shoulder season, therefore it may lead to longer completion timelines for some of the work you request.</p> <p><b>Inquiries</b></p> Fri, 04 Apr 2025 15:41:44 +0000 admin 5982 at /sociology
