"Fundamentals of Remote Sensing & GIS and Oceanographic Applications"
during 10 - 14 April, 2023
Organized by
International Training Centre for Operational Oceanography (ITCOocean) ESSO-INCOIS, Hyderabad, India


Overview:

Remote sensing helps to observe and measure Earth's (ocean, atmosphere, and land) resources. The utilisation of remote sensing tools and satellite data is inevitable in studying global seas. Therefore, remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) are integral parts of the marine sciences course curriculum of the different academia. The oceanography students and scholars must be imparted theoretical knowledge on remote sensing complemented with advanced applications for proficient study of the oceans. This course focuses on the fundamentals of remote sensing, classical theories, sensors for oceanographic applications, and remote sensing data analysis using open-source softwares. At the end of the course, participants will gain knowledge on the basics of remote sensing with practical knowledge to apply learning techniques and how to derive meaningful results.

Course Contents:

  • Fundamentals of remote sensing.
  • Thermal remote sensing and its applications
  • Microwave remote sensing and its applications.
  • About various satellites and sensors.
  • Ocean Colour Remote Sensing and its applications.
  • Fundamentals of GIS and its applications.
  • Hands-on practice using softwares like SeaDAS and QGIS.

Target Audience:

The course is scheduled for a batch of Master’s students of Marine Science from Berhampur University, Odisha.

Application Process :

Only by invitation

Course Dates :

10th April - 14th April, 2023.

Faculty Members :
