The course is intended for field scientists, Ph.D. stude nts and technicians with no or little experience with remote sensing techni ques. The training will be delivered by remote sensing experts from SIOS me mber institutions, international teachers and potential virtual talks from ESA experts.\n\n - Time: 31 August - 4 September 2020* (starting Monday mor ning, ending Friday at lunch time, depending on flights)\n - Location: Long yearbyen, Svalbard (update 15 June 2020: the course will be conducted onlin e)\n - Who can apply? In this second round also non-SIOS members can apply\ n - Application deadline: 7 June \nApplication form (https://sios-svalbard. org/Application_TrainingTerrestrialRemoteSensing_2019)\n*Note: Due to the C OVID-19 pandemic, the dates are not set in stone. If the pandemic is still a risk factor, the course will be delayed towards the end of September, pos tponed to 2021 or offered as a remote class instead of in-person.\nWe have now opened application also for non-SIOS members. The training course is fr ee of charge, but participants have to cover their own expenses on travel a nd accommodation in Longyearbyen. Employees and students from SIOS member i nstitutions* (Is my institution a SIOS member? (https://sios-svalbard.org/C onsortium)) can apply for partial support for travel and accommodation (act ual costs up to 5 000 NOK/participant from European/Nordic SIOS member inst itutions and up to 10 000 NOK/participant from Asian SIOS member institutio ns).\nGoal of the trainingThe goal of the course is to teach participants t he basic skills needed to work independently to acquire, analyse and visual ize terrestrial data sets derived from a variety of close to very long-rang e sources.\nObjectivesMany field scientists, from SIOS member institutions, have been working on research projects which would greatly benefit from th e addition of a richer set of remote sensing viewpoints. However, they may lack the necessary training required to make easy but effective use of free ly available data sets, tools, and software, as well as to plan and execute research-grade field remote sensing acquisitions. Ph.D. students from SIOS member institutions who are about to begin careers using remote sensing as an integral part of their research projects can also benefit from this tra ining course.\nTopics covered during the trainingThe training course will i nclude lectures and hands-on sessions focusing on:\n\n - Overview of the ra nge of methods included in the term remote sensing\n - Different sensor typ es (optical, multispectral, thermal, RADAR, LiDAR, etc.)\n - Different plat form types including handheld/ground (e.g. time-lapse camera, airborne (dro ne, planes), and satellites\n - Overview of available free open-source sate llite data (Copernicus satellite and other) and tools that can be used for remote sensing in terrestrial environments of Svalbard\n - Examples of appl ications on glaciers, permafrost processes, snow modelling, terrestrial bio logy, wildlife monitoring, and more.Confirmed teachers (will be updated)\n - Hans Tømmervik, NINA\n - Roberto Salzano, CNR\n - Lars Eklundh, Lund Univ ersity\n - Luc Girod, University of Oslo\n - Richard Hann, UNIS/NTNU\n - Ag nar Sivertsen, NORCE\n - Tom Rune Lauknes, NORCETarget audienceAnyone from terrestrial field scientists, Ph.D. students, researchers and technicians w ith limited or incomplete knowledge of remote sensing techniques.\nMore inf ormation on the training course, registration, and schedule: https://sios-s valbard.org/TRST_2020 (https://sios-svalbard.org/TRST_2020)\nFor more infor mation, please contact Shridhar Jawak ( (mailto:remotesensing@sios-svalbard .org)This email address is being protected from spambots.

Ap plication form

*Note: Due to the COVID-19 pandem ic, the dates are not set in stone. If the pandemic is still a risk factor, the course will be delayed towards the end of September, postponed to 2021 or offered as a remote class instead of in-person.

We have now opene d application also for non-SIOS members. The training course is free of cha rge, but participants have to cover their own expenses on travel and accomm odation in Longyearbyen. Employees and students from SIOS member institutio ns* (Is my institution a SIO S member?) can apply for partial support for travel and accommodation ( actual costs up to 5 000 NOK/participant from European/Nordic SIOS member i nstitutions and up to 10 000 NOK/participant from Asian SIOS member institu tions).

Goal of the training

The goal of the course is to tea ch participants the basic skills needed to work independently to acquire, a nalyse and visualize terrestrial data sets derived from a variety of close to very long-range sources.

Objectives

Many field scientists, from SIOS member institutions, have been working on research projects whic h would greatly benefit from the addition of a richer set of remote sensing viewpoints. However, they may lack the necessary training required to make easy but effective use of freely available data sets, tools, and software, as well as to plan and execute research-grade field remote sensing acquisi tions. Ph.D. students from SIOS member institutions who are about to begin careers using remote sensing as an integral part of their research projects can also benefit from this training course.

Topics covered during t he training

The training course will include lectures and hands-on s essions focusing on:

Confirmed teachers ( will be updated)

Target audience

Anyone from te rrestrial field scientists, Ph.D. students, researchers and technicians wit h limited or incomplete knowledge of remote sensing techniques.
