Abstract
The German Wadden Sea is a very fragile ecosystem listed as UNESCO World
Heritage Site and therefore closely monitored. This monitoring includes but is not limited to
the waterways, the erosion of the islands causes by tides and storms, the condition of coastal
protection buildings and the land cover and use. The goal of the project called GeoWAM is to
investigate whether or not it is possible to replace airborne Laser scanning, which is the state
of the art for this task, by airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar. As part of the project consortium,
the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology and the University of Stuttgart are investigating new
methods for the automatic evaluation of radar data. In this paper we describe the efforts on
the subject of classification, georeferencing and the extraction of 3D structures.
