Career Summary

Biography

Dr Xiaoli Deng graduated with a PhD in Geodesy from Curtin University of Technology in 2004, specialising in improvement of geodetic parameter estimation in coastal regions from satellite radar altimetry. Since then, Xiaoli has broadened the scope and breadth of her research considerably to now include satellite geodesy and satellite oceanography.

She has undertaken several research projects funded by the University of Newcastle, NSW Environmental Trust, and internationally by NASA, European Space Agency and French government Space Agency. The contribution to the projects is her specific skill of improving satellite altimetry data in coastal regions, monitoring the sea level around Australia, and investigating its influence on climate change.

Xiaoli has made a significant contribution to develop research infrastructure in the surveying group at the University of Newcastle. She has now a research team of three PhD students with research into coastal altimetry and its applications, sea level change, satellite altimetry waveform retracking, satellite geodesy in natural hazard mitigation, and marine gravity field. The team is also involved in research into the new generation of satellite SAR altimetry.

Research Expertise
Improvement of satellite radar altimetry data in coastal zones through developing altimetry waveform retracking algorithms. Development and use of satellite and in-situ observation techniques, models and methods for monitoring of sea level variability, ocean currents, climate, marine gravity field and natural hazards.

Â© 2016 Elsevier B.V.Satellite altimetry has proven a valuable resource of information on river and lake levels where in situ data are sparse or non-existent. In this study several new methods for obtaining stable inland water levels from CryoSat-2 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) altimetry are presented and evaluated. In addition, the possible benefits from combining physical and empirical retrackers are investigated.The retracking methods evaluated in this paper include the physical SAR Altimetry MOde Studies and Applications (SAMOSA3) model, a traditional subwaveform threshold retracker, the proposed Multiple Waveform Persistent Peak (MWaPP) retracker, and a method combining the physical and empirical retrackers. Using a physical SAR waveform retracker over inland water has not been attempted before but shows great promise in this study.The evaluation is performed for two medium-sized lakes (Lake VÃ¤nern in Sweden and Lake Okeechobee in Florida), and in the Amazon River in Brazil. Comparing with in situ data shows that using the SAMOSA3 retracker generally provides the lowest root-mean-squared-errors (RMSE), closely followed by the MWaPP retracker. For the empirical retrackers, the RMSE values obtained when comparing with in situ data in Lake VÃ¤nern and Lake Okeechobee are in the order of 2-5 cm for well-behaved waveforms. Combining the physical and empirical retrackers did not offer significantly improved mean track standard deviations or RMSEs. Based on these studies, it is suggested that future SAR derived water levels are obtained using the SAMOSA3 retracker whenever information about other physical properties apart from range is desired. Otherwise we suggest using the empirical MWaPP retracker described in this paper, which is both easy to implement, computationally efficient, and gives a height estimate for even the most contaminated waveforms.

Marshall A, Deng X, 'Image Analysis for Altimetry Waveform Selection over Heterogeneous Inland Waters', IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, 13 1198-1202 (2016) [C1]

Â© 2016 IEEE.Over inland waters the altimetry radar return is typically contaminated by both land and surrounding vegetation. Moreover, the radar returns corresponding to floodplain vegetation and exposed mud flats can have similar waveform shapes to those reflected from open water surfaces so that the derived water surface elevations are either inaccurate or difficult to extract. This letter presents a robust and automated method based on image analysis of satellite imagery for the selection of altimetry waveforms over inundated zones. The altimetry footprint is assessed as being inundated if the radiometric response of an image kernel within the footprint conforms to known remotely sensed responses for water. The method was applied in the lower middle Fly floodplain of the Fly River in the Western Province of Papua New Guinea (PNG). Altimetry waveforms were assessed for inundation extent and vegetation cover, with those that met threshold levels being flagged for further retracking and water surface elevation monitoring. The results show that the method accurately identified> 90% of inundated sites along altimeter ground tracks and correctly selected waveforms reflected from water surfaces.

A new approach for improving the accuracy of altimetry-derived sea level anomalies (SLAs) near the coast is presented. Estimation of SLAs is optimized using optimal waveform retracking through a fuzzy multiple retracking system and the most appropriate detiding method. With the retracking system, fuzzy-retracked SLAs become available within 5 km of the coast; meanwhile it becomes more important to use pointwise tide modelling rather than state-of-the-art global tidal models, as the latter leave residual ocean tide signals in retracked SLAs. These improvements are demonstrated for Jason-2 waveforms in the area of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Comparing the retrieved SLAs with in situ tide gauge data from Townsville and Bundaberg stations showed that the SLAs from this study generally outperform those from conventional methods, demonstrating that adequate waveform retracking and detiding are equally important in bringing altimetry SLAs closer to the coast.
