Training Course on Land Remote Sensing at iASK

The European Space Agency (ESA) is organising a five-day Advanced Training Course on Land Remote Sensing with the focus on Agriculture and Water between November 21 to 25 in collaboration with the Institute of Advanced Studies Kőszeg (iASK), in Kőszeg, NW Hungary, the venue of the event.

The course is dedicated to training the next generation of Earth Observation (EO) scientists and experts working in Agriculture and Water domain to exploit data from EO multispectral, hypersprectral and SAR missions (e.g. the Copernicus Sentinels) for science and applications development. The course is part of ESA’s EO Science for Society – Scientific Exploitation element of EOEP-5 (the fifth cycle of ESA’s Earth Observation Envelope Program). Post graduates, PhD students, post-doctoral research scientists and professionals from European countries and Canada interested in the applications of Earth Observation in Agriculture and Water cycle in agriculture are expected to participate

The Advanced Training Course aims at training the next generation of scientists and professionals on remote sensing for agriculture and water cycle in agriculture; explaining the theoretical principles, processing algorithms and data products from multiple sources including multispectral, hyperspectral and SAR EO data for agriculture and water; introducing tool and methods for the exploitation of EO satellite data, in particular the Sentinels and new hyperspectral missions; ttimulating the exploitation of EO in the domain of agriculture, water cycle, evapotranspiration, irrigation etc. and demonstrating cloud-based, large-scale processing of EO data.
