8th Earth Observation Summer School 2016
August 1, 2016 - August 12, 2016
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
European Space Agency (ESA) organises a series of summer schools on Monitoring of the Earth System to promote the exploitation of Earth Observation EO data across disciplines, with a specific focus on their assimilation into Earth System models. The Summer Schools last for two-week and are held in ESA/ESRIN (near Rome, Italy).
The eighth edition of the series took place from 1st to 12th August 2016 and was titled “8th EO Summer School on Earth System Monitoring & Modelling “. A total of 63 young researchers (Ph.D. students and young post-docs) attended the event.
The course addressed issues related to remote sensing, Earth system modelling and data assimilation. The topics included urban areas, atmospheric composition, surface temperature, oceanography, land surface deformation, climate and ecosystem modelling, open source software and citizen generated content, among others.
The programme also included hands-on computing practicals and poster sessions.
