NASA Earth Observations for Reservoir and Water Utility Management Managing reservoirs is a complex task, requiring a careful balance between water storage, flood control, electricity generation, and drinking water supplies. Factors such as seasonal snow cover, total snow water equivalent (SWE), an...

Estimating Surface PM2.5 Using Satellite Data and Other Information Sources This training covers the theoretical approaches and key datasets for estimating the near-surface concentration of particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5) by using satellite aerosol optical depth ...

Estimating Biomass and Change with GEDI and the OBIWAN API This two-part, intermediate training introduces key concepts in carbon monitoring using the Online Biomass Inference using Waveforms and iNventory (OBIWAN) application. Developed by the U.S. Forest Service, this tool analyzes forest carbon ...

Introduction to Thermal Remote Sensing and Applications in Urban Heat Island Mapping Extreme heat events are defined as prolonged periods of excessively high temperatures for multiple consecutive days. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), heat stress is the leading cause of weather-rel...

Hello Nidhi, Thank you for your interest in attending an ARSET training. We have a guided tutorial on installing QGIS here: https://arset.unhosting.site/course/view.php?id=29 . You will need to make an account to follow the tutorial if you do not yet have one. If you're just looking for the official...

Monitoring Groundwater Changes for Water Resources Management This three-part, advanced training focuses on satellite remote sensing data for looking at groundwater. Groundwater is a vital resource, especially in arid regions where surface water is limited. Aquifers in certain regions of the world ...

Visualizing Land Cover and Land Use Change with NASA Satellite Imagery This two-part training covers some of the ways that we can use NASA data to assess land cover and land use change (LCLUC). Participants will see examples of supervised and unsupervised classification models implemented in the R ...

Monitoring Water Quality in Lakes and Coastal Regions Using STREAM NASA has developed the Satellite-based Tool for Rapid Evaluation of Aquatic Environments (STREAM) — an interactive web tool that enables high-resolution (20–30 meter) monitoring of water quality in inland lakes and coastal waters ac...

Solar Induced Fluorescence (SIF) Observations for Assessing Vegetation Changes Related to Floods, Drought, and Fire Impacts Solar-Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence (SIF) provides a unique remote sensing approach for measuring photosynthetic activity, offering real-time insights into vegetation stres...
