NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) has opened a new open, online webinar series: Introduction to Lightning Observations and Applications. This three-part, introductory training focuses on global and regional lightning data products that can be applied to disaster risk preparedness.
As the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events are likely to increase due to climate change impacts, lightning activity will likely increase as well, causing more power outages, increased risks of wildfire ignition, and increased numbers of injuries and fatalities. Therefore, information about lightning activity is critical for better preparedness against these disasters.
NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) has opened a new open, online webinar series: Large Scale Applications of Machine Learning using Remote Sensing for Building Agriculture Solutions. Remote sensing data is becoming crucial to solve some of the most important environmental problems, especially pertaining to agricultural applications and food security. Participants will become familiar with data format and quality considerations, tools, and techniques to process remote sensing imagery at large scale from publicly available satellite sources, using cloud tools such as AWS S3, Databricks, and Parquet. Additionally, participants will learn how to analyze and train machine learning models for classification using this large source of data to solve environmental problems with a focus on agriculture.
Este webinário explorará como pode ser o acesso a soluções para as comunidades no sistema do mercado global de carbono, com foco em questões de posse de terras e de recursos. Com a participação de comunidades afetadas pelos mercados de carbono e de especialistas em projetos de mecanismos de reclamação, o webinário destacará os principais aspectos necessários para que os mecanismos de reclamação sejam acessíveis, confiáveis e seguros. A discussão oferecerá uma contribuição fundamental para o mecanismo de reclamação proposto para os mercados estabelecidos de acordo com o Artigo 6.4 do Acordo de Paris da UNFCCC.
Lema/Tema: "Práticas sociais e ambientais para o desenvolvimento sustentável"
NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) has opened a new open, online, intermediate webinar series: Transforming Earth Observation (EO) Data into Building Infrastructure Data Sets for Disaster Risk Modeling. This three-part training, presented in English and Spanish, is open to the public and will cover the basics of natural hazard risk modeling and exposure development with a focus on fusing data from multiple datasets expressly for the purposes of risk assessment. We will also present examples applying the techniques to applications related to flood risk assessment, climate adaptation, and earthquake modeling.
We are thrilled to announce the upcoming second edition of the highly anticipated Copernicus Land User Event! Following the success and positive feedback received from last year's event, we couldn't be more excited to bring together industry leaders, experts, and enthusiasts once again.
Webinar organized by the FIG Climate Compass Task Force and part of its 'Conversations & Consultations Webinar Series'. Registrations are now open.
