12^th Advanced Training Course on Land Remote Sensing

The Advanced Training Course on Land Remote Sensing – EO for Hydrology and Hazards aims at:

• Training the next generation of scientists and professionals on remote sensing for hydrology and related hazards
• Explaining the theoretical principles, processing algorithms and data products from multiple sources including optical, thermal and microwave EO data for hydrology and hazards
• Introducing tools and methods for the use of EO satellite data, in particular the Sentinels and new SAR missions
• Stimulating the use of EO in the domains of water cycle science, water management and hazards such as landslides, floods and drought
• Demonstrating cloud-based, large-scale processing of EO data

The 5-day course will be held from 25 to 29 September 2023 at the Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Poland. Post graduate, PhD students, post-doctoral research scientists and professionals from European countries and Canada interested in the applications of Earth Observation in Water cycle, hydrology and hazards are welcome to apply for the course. Research scientists, students, EO professionals from all other countries are also welcome to apply, subject to availability of space.

Application

• Create a user account in the ConfTool portal and fill in the online application form CLOSED
• Enter a title and short poster abstract (mandatory) presenting your current research topic, possibly related to the main theme of the course
• Upload a reference letter from an academic referee or employer (mandatory)
• After acceptance to the course, provide the full poster (in pdf format) to be uploaded in the online system. Guidelines for the poster preparation will be sent in due time. Following the evaluation of the posters by the scientific committee, the authors of the highest-ranked posters will have the opportunity to present their work (short presentation) during the event.
