Summary	(Plain Language Summary, not published) This report summarizes the scope, research and results of a 2011-2015 interdepartmental study on the evaluation and development of applications using the new Compact Polarimetry (CP) configuration as part of Canada's future RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM). The three-satellite constellation will provide at least daily monitoring of Canada's land and coastal waterways. Supported by the Canadian Space Agency, the team of more than 20 scientists and researchers studied 13 different themes and ultimately recommended that compact polarimetry be adopted as the default satellite mode for broad area terrestrial and marine surveillance. This collaboration has been instrumental to the operational readiness of federal users for the launch of the RCM in 2018.
