Sustainable space-based data for climate monitoring
REGISTRATION CLOSED
Training provider: Center for Space Science and Technology Education in Asia and the Pacific (CSSTEAP) and Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)
Description: This will be a one day course. The course will provide a basic background on the earth observation derived data available for climate change studies. This will include the available climate change compatible EO retrieved data and how the information can be used for various climate change impact studies especially on extreme weather events in the tropical regions where the majority of the global populations lives. The course will also have an overview of satellite meteorology to introduce the nuances of satellite meteorology and use of EO data in monitoring and early warning of climate change induced disasters to the participants. There will be two demonstrations on the India's data portals on climate and environmental studies. One-day training programme open to international participants and will be conducted online through Learning Management System (LMS) of Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS), ISRO. There will be 3 lectures in the morning and 2 demonstrations in the afternoon.
