The Italian Association of Remote Sensing (AIT), jointly with the Institute for Electromagnetic Sensing of the Environment (IREA) of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR), in cooperation with European Space Agency (ESA) and European Association of Remote Sensing Laboratories (EARSeL), and under the auspicious of EO4GEO project organizes a Remote Sensing Summer School focused on “Agricultural applications of SENTINEL data”
DATE & TIME: September 17th to September 21st, 2018.
Lessons start: at 12:30 PM on Monday Sept 17th and end at 01:30 PM on Friday Sept 21st.
FEES: the cost is 950 Euro to be paid to AIT within 30/06/2018.
Summer School Organization
- The School includes lectures covering overviews of the recent ESA Sentinel missions, Earth System
Modeling, Data Assimilation, as well as hands-on data processing practical exercises. - The one-week course aims at providing students with integrated end-to-end perspectives, ranging
from analysis and measurement techniques to operational applications, at different working scales. - In-field exercises will be organized to collect data through ad-hoc instrumentation: spectral
measurements, drone imagery, proximal sensor on tractors, etc. Samples’ collection for testing in
proximity (weather permitting) of scheduled acquisition of Sentinel data is also planned.
Attendance
The school is open to early career scientists or employers, such as Ph.D. students, young postdoctoral scientists, technicians specialized in Earth Science disciplines, wishing to expand and improve their knowledge and skills on EO in Agriculture.
Participation is limited to a maximum of 20 students: a selection based on CVs and motivation letters will be applied.
