CS-5202-SLB

Advanced training on Earth Observation (EO) and Geospatial Information Technology (GIT) Applications for Climate Resilience

Course Content

The course will start with recalling the basics concepts of GIS and Remote Sensing learned from the first training session. The following sessions will also provide the participants with theoretical understanding of advanced remote sensing and Land Cover detection. The participants will then learn how to conduct building damage assessment and population exposure analysis for tropical cyclones. Towards the end of the session the participants will be introduced to online GIS applications and will develop a case study.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this course participants should be able to:

• Recall the basic concepts of Geographic Information System and Remote Sensing
• Calculate vegetation index from satellite image and perform land cover change detection
• Develop a population exposure analysis for tropical cyclones wind hazard
• Assess building damage from tropical cyclone using very high-resolution satellite images
• Develop web-based products to convey clear and concise decision support information
• Design priority case studies in GIT applications for Climate Resilience
