SUMMARY:EO Africa Online Training #1: Cloud Computing and Algorithms for EO Analyses
DESCRIPTION:1st EO AFRICA R&D Facility Online Course \nDeadline for applications: March 3\, 2022 \nIntroduction to the course: \nThis course introduces participants to Cloud Computing and its usage for Earth Observation (EO) data analysis. It starts with big geospatial data concepts and extends to Cloud Computing as one of the solutions for solving the problems of big EO data. \nThe EO AFRICA Facility Innovation Lab will be introduced as an example of a cloud computing platform for working with EO data. We will cover Jupyter Notebooks and JupyterLab as the proper solution for developing analytical procedures accompanied with documentation on cloud computing platforms. \nIn the next step\, the course focuses on some of the Python libraries to develop programs that handle and analyze EO data. We will explain how participants can programmatically access different EO datasets using online catalog services and utilize the data in their algorithms. \nParticipants apply the knowledge and skills gained on a final project using EO data available on the Innovation Lab. Materials will be made available through a dedicated Moodle site. \nPrerequisites:  \nThe participants need to have basic programming skills in Python. \nSelection: \nThe course will be offered to a maximum of 65 participants. Selection will be based on relevant academic background and employment. We will strive to have a gender-balanced and country-balanced group of participants. Preference is given to candidates working as (Ph.D.-) researchers\, post-doc\, and university staff. \nTimeline: \nThe online course will have sessions on: \n\nMarch 16\nMarch 17\nMarch 23\nMarch 24\nMarch 30\nMarch 31\nApril 1\n\nLanguage: English \nSpeakers: \n\nDR MAHDI FARNAGHI\, Assistant Professor – Department of Geo-information Processing\, Faculty ITC of the University of Twente\nDR MAHDI KHODADADZADEHAssistant Professor – Department of Geo-information Processing\, Faculty ITC of the University of Twente\n\nDR SERKAN GIRGINAssistant Professor – Head of the Center of Expertise in Big Geodata Science (CRIB) – Faculty ITC of the University of Twente\n\n\n  \nMore information: \nThe course is organised in the context of the EO AFRICA R&D.
