SUMMARY:PUMAS 2024 - Uses and Applications of SAOCOM and Sentinel-1 for Land Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Background\nThe National Commission for Space Activities (CONAE)\, the European Space Agency (ESA)\, and the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) are jointly organising a course on Remote Sensing as a Tool for Monitoring Land and Forest Resources. This course focuses on the uses and applications of the SAOCOM and Sentinel-1 SAR missions. It is part of the PUMAS initiative (Promotion of the Use and Applications of Mission and Science)\, co-managed by ESA and CONAE\, aimed at promoting the development of scientific and technological applications from satellite products of both agencies. \n  \nObjectives\nThe aim of this course are to: \n\nEnable students to work with SAR images\, with special emphasis on the Sentinel-1 and SAOCOM missions\nHelp students understand the content of a SAR image and how to extract geophysical and biophysical information\nTeach the fundamentals of polarimetry\, interferometry\, and interferometric polarimetry and their applications in different areas of Earth Observation\n\nTopics\nThe training will cover the following topics: \n\nIntroduction to Synthetic Aperture Radars\nRadar Interferometry\nRadar Polarimetry\nInterferometric Radar Polarimetry\nApplications and use cases of polarimetric\, interferometric\, and polarimetric-interferometric techniques\n\nParticipation\nThe 5-day course will be held from October 14 to 18\, 2024\, at the Teófilo Tabanera Space Center in Córdoba\, Argentina. It is aimed at professionals\, students\, and researchers with previous knowledge in remote sensing and geomatics\, interested in deepening their understanding of Sentinel-1 and SAOCOM data for Earth observation. The course has a minimum capacity of 25 people and a maximum of 50. \nInterested participants can apply from July 3\, 2024 to August 5\, 2024. Selected candidates will be notified during the week of August 23\, 2024. The GRSS offers limited economic aid for those who do not reside in the province of Córdoba. \nFor more information and to apply\, please visit the official course website at: Escuela de primavera 2024 – Gulich (unc.edu.ar) \n
