Training is aimed at early career scientists: Masters / PhD students, Post-Docs, and/or experienced scientists from any relevant sector (industry, government, environment, research) who have clear motivations for working with satellite-based ocean observation data for marine applications. It would be beneficial for participants to have introductory experience using SNAP and/or a scripting language such as Python (or similar), but this is not a prerequisite. Please note that this course is aimed primarily at European audiences and participants from Copernicus programme member states.
The deadline for application is Midday EST 18th September 2020. Unfortunately, applications cannot be accepted after this date. These workshops are competitive & numbers are limited to approximately 20 people. Selected participants will be informed about their acceptance by Wednesday the 23rd of September 2020. |

Format
|
This is a blended course. The self-taught phase must be completed prior to the classroom phase, but is spaced over 3 weeks to allow for flexibility in self-paced learning.
