CURSO VIRTUAL: Datos Satelitales para Monitorear el Cambio Ambiental Regional

The document outlines a 20-hour self-guided virtual course on satellite data for environmental monitoring, specifically targeting researchers in Latin America and the Caribbean. The curriculum focuses on using Google Earth Engine to analyze tropical forests, land cover, and climate extremes through eight technical modules and six sessions. Participants engage in case studies involving deforestation, drought modeling, and air pollution, culminating in a final assessment requiring a 70% score for certification.

• The course is designed for Latin American scientists and researchers to develop theoretical and practical skills in satellite imagery for environmental monitoring, with a specific focus on environmental health and tropical forests.
• The curriculum covers a range of regional applications, including the analysis of land use change, deforestation, climate modeling, forest fire monitoring, and extreme climate events, using case studies centered on Latin America and the Caribbean.
• The technical training is structured around Google Earth Engine and includes specific modules on image processing, time series analysis, vector data calculations, land cover change, and the creation of public interactive applications.
• Participants apply their learning through specific datasets and case studies, such as the Hansen Global Forest Change for forest mapping, the Joint Research Commission Surface Water Change for water bodies, and Dynamic World for land cover classification.
