Training provider: CSSTEAP & ISRO

Duration: 10th February 2025 to 28th February 2025

Description:UN Austria post symposium tutorial – MOOC on “Earth Observation for Climate Action” Dates during which the programme will be available for the participants will be between 10th February 2025 to 28 February 2025. The course will have 14 lectures on different aspects of “EO for Climate Action” and 07 demonstrations on tools techniques and web portals. The participants will be able to attend the lectures through the Learning Management System of Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, ISRO and on completion of the lectures as provided in the sequence, will be eligible for an online quiz/examination. On successfully passing the online examination, the participants will be eligible for certificate which will be sent to their emails through which the will register. The programme is open to all. However only those who successfully complete the course and pass the examination will be eligible for the certificate.

Objective:By the end of this training attendees will be able to: Understand the role of Earth Observation platforms and sensors in climate monitoring and modelling. They will also be able to have an understanding of the various challenges due to climate change and how EO can play an important role in their monitoring and scientific understanding of the process.
