Earth Observation for Hydrological Analysis
WaterNet
Enrollment in this course is by invitation only
The overall aim of this course is to introduce the use of Earth Observation for Hydrological Analysis and IWRM. Upon completion of this course students will have a basic understanding of the use of EO in Hydrological analysis; the application of QGIS and its use in interrogating remote sensing datasets; they will be able to access and use GLDAS datasets and the Google Earth Engine for selected Hydrological Datasets.
The Objective of the course is to Introduce the use of Earth Observation for Hydrological analysis in the context of Integrated Water Resources Management. Participants will be provided with an overview of literature on the state of observation networks and the use of EO in Hydrological Analysis. Participants will be introduced to the Google Earth Engine platform as a tool for the downloading and analysis of remote sensing datasets. Participants will be tasked to complete an assignment on the downloading and creating maps of relevant datasets.
