The course provided advanced scientific knowlenge on theory and applications of land remote sensing. It was organised around five main components:
- Presentation of the Sentinel-1, -2 and -3 missions
- Theoretical fundamentals of spaceborne optical, thermal and microwave remote sensing
- EO land applications lectures on land use and land cover; change detection; terrain motion and critical infrastructure monitoring; hazards; forest bio-physical retrievals; multi-temporal analysis; flood and standing water monitoring; agricultural monitoring; urban mapping and environment; soil moisture and drought assessment
- Practicals using ESA toolboxes for scientific exploitation of EO data
- EO data processing and product demonstration for land resources monitoring.
The training course included formal lectures by leading scientists as well as hands-on computing exercises exploiting real data for science and application.
A half-day field excursion involving in-situ and drone observations was held during the week, followed by analysis and comparison of the collected data to satellite data at the end of the course.
