Remote sensing of the natural environment is of critical importance to understanding the dynamics of the earth and to the sustainable development of human society. This session focuses on latest developments and advances in random medium scattering theory and remote sensing techniques. The topics include, but are not limited to, advanced electromagnetic theory and efficient numerical methods for random media scattering, emergent concept of accelerating forward modeling and parameter inversion through artificial intelligence and quantum computing, microwave imaging theory, polarimetric/interferometric/tomographic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and their innovative applications, simulation and modeling of background clutters for radar target detection, and technical innovations in remote sensing of various environmental and geophysical variables.
