In early September, SIOS will offer a training course on how to effectively use remote sensing data acquired from satellites, from the air or from the ground, and their associated tools and software in the context of terrestrial research in Svalbard.
The course is intended for field scientists, Ph.D. students and technicians with no or little experience with remote sensing techniques.
The training will be delivered by remote sensing experts from SIOS member institutions, international teachers and potential virtual talks from ESA experts.
Time: 31 August - 4 September 2020* (starting Monday morning, ending Friday at lunch time, depending on flights)
Location: Longyearbyen, Svalbard
Application deadline: 7 May
Confirmed teachers (will be updated)
Hans Tømmervik, NINA
Roberto Salzano, CNR
Lars Eklundh, Lund University
Luc Girod, University of Oslo
Richard Hann, UNIS/NTNU
Agnar Sivertsen, NORCE
Note: Due to the COVID-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, postponed to 2021 or offered as a remote class instead of in-person.

This training course sounds amazing for anyone working with remote sensing data in Svalbard. It reminds me how important visual skills are—like when I play Dialed GG Daily to test my color memory. Great way to keep the brain sharp!
This training course sounds amazing for researchers in Svalbard! It reminds me of how tools like the linkedin bold text generator can help highlight key points in posts, just like remote sensing data reveals important details on the ground.
Seems like a solid opportunity for those getting into remote sensing. Wish I had something like this when I started. Check out this tool to get creative with your data: https://texttosong.ai/
What a fantastic course in Svalbard! Learning to effectively use remote sensing data is so crucial, especially for field scientists just starting out. It's fascinating how technology makes complex image analysis more accessible, almost like how an ai image editor can simplify transforming and enhancing any photo for professional results.
It’s like watching a reality show but with less drama and more Botox! Can’t wait to see the final reveal—uh, I mean a med spa, not a mansion. By the way, if you’re into creative tech, you might enjoy this https://lyria3.one/
