METIER Graduate Training Course
You are invited to the METIER Graduate Training Course No. 3 “Remote Sensing of the Land Surface? from 23-27 April 2007 at the University of Leicester, UK.
Remote sensing offers key tools for earth and environmental observation as well as assessments of effects caused by climate change or global change processes related to urbanisation, migrations, or land-use change. It is needed in all environmental disciplines. Remote sensing is a methodology for data collection, analysis and the parameterization of environmental models. Remote sensing is more than just collecting and analysing satellite data. It requires profound interdisciplinary knowledge to be able to interpret the data, e.g. for use in Geographical Information Systems or land surface models.
This course provides a comprehensive overview of remote sensing in relation to processes and models of the land surface. This requires different methodological approaches and will is intended to benefit PhD students and early-stage researchers from a range of disciplines including geography, environmental sciences, biology, physics and hydrology.
20 part-funded student places are available. To be considered for financial support, please register online at http://peer-initiative.org/html/obj138.html before 31 January 2007.
