Master remote sensing for coastal and marine environments. Learn to monitor coastal erosion, assess water quality, map marine habitats, and understand the impacts of climate change on coastal ecosystems.

Training on Remote Sensing for Coastal and Marine Environments

Course Overview

This course provides an in-depth exploration of remote sensing technologies and their application in coastal and marine environments. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to utilize satellite and aerial imagery, as well as other remote sensing data, to monitor, analyze, and manage coastal and marine ecosystems. The course covers key topics such as habitat mapping, shoreline change detection, water quality assessment, and the impacts of climate change on coastal areas. Through hands-on exercises and case studies, participants will learn practical skills in data acquisition, processing, and interpretation using various remote sensing tools.
