EO Africa online course on EO for Marine and Coastal Resources Applications
January 27, 2025 - February 21, 2025
This online course aims to provide the participants with the competence to use Earth Observation (EO) data and products to leverage the management of marine and coastal aquatic resources and policymaking.
The main objective is to deepen and broaden the knowledge and practical skills of participants in using EO products and applications for the integrated management of aquatic resources in deltas. The course includes technical skills and know-how about EO data, products, and applications and, more importantly, global phenomena related to ocean-land-atmosphere interactions. EO products and applications are fundamental components of the planned course and form the backbone of the teaching from the start to the end. Therefore, the course will not only focus on the more generic building stones of remote sensing of aquatic resources but also on the wider scope of applications that address the water-atmosphere-land nexus.
Knowledge of Earth Observation principles and basic image processing techniques including Python programming language would be an asset; only applicants working for an African-based organization are eligible.
Deadline for applications: January 6, 2025
