The demand The frequency and impact of disasters continues to rise, calling for effective disaster risk management and innovative risk financing solutions. Disaster Risk Financing (DRF) can increase the ability of national and local governments, homeowners, businesses, agricultural producers, and low-income populations to respond more quickly and resiliently to disasters by strengthening public financial management …
Incomplete avalanche activity datasets introduce uncertainty to avalanche forecasting Roughly 150-250 people die each year in avalanche accidents. Infrastructure loss and costs from evacuations and road closures and the use of active and permanent mitigation measures amount to large economic costs. Regional avalanche forecasting is an active mitigation measure that informs the public of …

ESA and CONAE organised a SAR course in preparation of CONAE’s SAOCOM mission. The topics focused on demonstrating the combined use of X/C/L band SAR data for a variety of applications (including vegetation monitoring, disaster mapping and cryosphere) and using different techniques (among which InSAR and Polarimetry). This training addressed 70 Argentinian users with previous …
A full week is just over of training on the theory and applications of land remote sensing, ranging from the theoretical fundamentals and advanced concepts of spaceborne optical, thermal and microwave remote sensing to hands on use of software tools for a variety of applications including urban mapping, change detection, fire detection, forestry, vegetation monitoring, …
NORUT has developed an automatic avalanche detection method within a pre-operational processing chain that uses Sentinel-1 data to detect avalanches. This system is being tested in Northern Norway and is used operationally during winter 2017-2018 with the Norwegian Avalanche Warning Service. The goal of this project is to develop our avalanche detection processing chain to …
Access training material from 7th Advanced Training Course on Land Remote Sensing 2017 held in Hungary.
In 2016 ESA, in cooperation with the University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy, Faculty of Geodesy and Ministry of Economy, organized a Radar Remote Sensing training course addressed to participants from universities, scientific communities, institutions and organizations that are making use of geoinformation. The course provided participants with an introduction to radar remote sensing …
