Fatima Karbou

DR2 Développement Durable

Résumé

Mes recherches incluent la télédétection spatiale des surfaces terrestres. J'ai travaillé sur la compréhension de la physique de la mesure dans les micro-ondes et sur l'estimation de l'émissivité des surfaces continentales et de glaces de mer à ces fréquences micro-ondes comme pre-requis pour l'assimilation des observations des imageurs/profileurs passifs micro-ondes dans les modèles globaux de prévision numérique du temps. Depuis 2011, et suite à une mobilité géographique avec changement de thématique (Toulouse vers Grenoble), je suis chercheur au Centre d'Etudes de la Neige. Mes thématiques actuelles de recherche comprennent le suivi de l'enneigement en montagne et la caractérisation d'indicateurs sur l'activité avalancheuse par l'exploitation d'images satellitaires SAR. Je travaille également sur une meilleure caractérisation de certaines grandeurs atmosphériques en montagne.
