Most recent add-on to the collection of online MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) dedicated to Earth observation data, techniques and applications is Land in Focus, launched last 4 October. This MOOC, funded by ESA, has been developed by experts from various internationally renowned institutes such as EOS Jena, WUR Wageningen, RUB Bochum, FSU Jena, Sinergise, …
Learning AI is one of the fastest growing technology fields. Organisations are already starting to implement modifications to their business models due to AI and Machine Learning being widely adopted as a helpful tool to build solutions for resilient and sustainable societies that can adapt to the effects of climate change. Learning AI has thus …
The key objective of the proposed project is the development and deployment of a massive open online course (MOOC) to convey the spectrum o applications of Earth Observation (EO) over land surfaces. The first course is part of a series of online learning materials that will give insights on the potential of remote sensing technologies …
Welcome to the online course Land in Focus. Watch the trailer here. This MOOC is a series of online learning materials that will give you insights on the potential of remote sensing technologies for applications over land surfaces. The courses are free, and only require registration. The first content of the series is the core content, …
In this course we will introduce you to the role of satellite Earth observation (EO) technology and the data it produces in monitoring the Earth’s Cryosphere. The Cryosphere is the portion of the Earth’s surface where water exists in solid form as glaciers, sea ice, ice caps, and areas of snow. The first week will …
This free online course provides an introduction to remote sensing of the atmosphere. This includes topics such as climate change monitoring, assessing the atmospheric chemistry levels, monitoring air quality and supporting policy decisions, and the study of long-range atmospheric pollution transportation. The course will contain practical examples which you can follow along, as well as …
This is a short MOOC from ESA which consists of a series of interviews with leading experts across Earth Observation and related technologies. This MOOC also acts as an additional section for the ‘Earth Observation from Space: The Optical View’ MOOC. The explosion in Earth Observation (EO) data from the Sentinel programme, a new generation of …
Made up of layers of compressed snow from over the last 100,000 years, the vast Greenland ice sheet acts as both a valuable record of our past climate and a bellwether for future climate change. This online course highlights how the Greenland ice sheet is monitored from space and the ground. You’ll look at the …
Satellite Earth Observation technology provides a powerful and compelling insight into climate change which can help to underpin climate policy, scientific research and public engagement. But how does this technology work, and how can it achieve the essential detail and comprehensive worldwide view that we need? Join Lead Educator Professor Martin Wooster and leading climate …
This course will provide an introduction to optical Earth observation – monitoring our planet from satellites, using photography, imaging in various wavelengths, lidar and other optical sensing technologies. You’ll find out how satellite data is acquired and used, the range of data types available, and the terminology and techniques involved. The course will also provide …
