SUMMARY:13th ADVANCED TRAINING COURSE ON LAND REMOTE SENSING (Snow and Glaciers)
DESCRIPTION:Background\n\n\nThe European Space Agency (ESA) is organising an Advanced Training Course on Land Remote Sensing with the focus on Snow and Glaciers in collaboration with the University of Innsbruck. This course is dedicated to train the next generation of Earth Observation (EO) scientists and experts\, working in the domains of snow and glaciers\, in using data from Copernicus Sentinels and other satellite missions for science and applications development. The course is part of the EO Science for Society element of ESA’s FutureEO programme. \nObjectives\n\n\nThe Advanced Training Course on Land Remote Sensing for Snow and Glaciers aims at: \n\nTraining the next generation of scientists and professionals in remote sensing of snow and glaciers\nExplaining the theoretical principles\, processing algorithms and data products from multiple sources including optical\, thermal and microwave\nStimulating the use of EO in the domains of water cycle science\, water management and hazards e.g. floods\n\nTopics\n\n\nThe training will include theory and hands-on sessions on the following topics: \n\nIntroduction to status of relevant missions including Sentinels in operation and under development\nIntroduction to optical and SAR remote sensing of snow and glaciers\nSnow monitoring:\n\nSnow extent\nAlbedo and grain size\nSnow depth and water equivalent\nSnow liquid water content (wet snow)\n\n\nGlacier monitoring:\n\nGlacier outline and debris\nElevation changes\nFlow velocity and glacier dynamics\n\n\nAlpine/mountain regions hydrology\nMultisource data analysis\nIn-situ data collection and preparation\nTraining on the use of SNAP toolbox\n\nParticipation\n\n\nThe 5-day course will be held from 16 to 20 September 2024 at the University of Innsbruck (Campus “Universitätsstraße” – Sowi)\, Austria. Postgraduate\, PhD students\, post-doctoral research scientists and professionals from European countries and Canada interested in the applications of Earth Observation for Snow and Glaciers are welcome to apply for the course. Research scientists\, students\, EO professionals from all other countries are also welcome to apply\, subject to availability of space. \nDiscover more about the application process by visiting the official training course website 13th Advanced Training Course on Land Remote Sensing (esa.int) \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n
