NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) has opened a new open, online webinar series: Large Scale Applications of Machine Learning using Remote Sensing for Building Agriculture Solutions. Remote sensing data is becoming crucial to solve some of the most important environmental problems, especially pertaining to agricultural applications and food security. Participants will become familiar with data format and quality considerations, tools, and techniques to process remote sensing imagery at large scale from publicly available satellite sources, using cloud tools such as AWS S3, Databricks, and Parquet. Additionally, participants will learn how to analyze and train machine learning models for classification using this large source of data to solve environmental problems with a focus on agriculture. 

NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) has opened a new open, online webinar series: Introduction to Lightning Observations and Applications. This three-part, introductory training focuses on global and regional lightning data products that can be applied to disaster risk preparedness.

As the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events are likely to increase due to climate change impacts, lightning activity will likely increase as well, causing more power outages, increased risks of wildfire ignition, and increased numbers of injuries and fatalities. Therefore, information about lightning activity is critical for better preparedness against these disasters.

NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) has opened a new open, online webinar series: Earth Observations for Humanitarian Applications. Refugees, internally displaced people (IDPs), and other displaced populations are made more vulnerable to climate change impacts due to their socio-political marginalization. This three-part, intermediate training presents concrete strategies for mapping localized climate conditions with risks faced by refugee and IDP communities around the world.

The training will focus on flood risk assessments and specific challenges for assessing flood risk in refugee and IDP camps; gauging long-term heat stress in refugee camps and the challenges with decision making surrounding heat risk; and monitoring drought effects on agricultural landscapes in refugee settings using Earth observations (EO) to explore the correlations between anomalies in crop productivity and weather-based factors

A administração fundiária é uma ferramenta poderosa para o desenvolvimento equitativo, mas sua forma e o modo como é implementada são cruciais para a realização desse potencial. Este webinário irá explorar como uma abordagem holística e centrada nas pessoas pode revolucionar a Administração Fundiária Adequada ao seu Propósito (FFPLA - sigla em inglês) e garantir que a administração da terra realmente atenda às necessidades das comunidades. Ao priorizar as vozes da população local, especialmente de mulheres, jovens e grupos marginalizados, podemos criar sistemas de administração de terras que não sejam apenas eficientes, mas também justos e inclusivos.

Após as cidades de Coimbra (Portugal) e São Luís-MA terem sediado as primeiras edições, agora a Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar) será a sede da terceira edição do ENCONTRO INTERNACIONAL EM DEMOCRACIA AMBIENTAL, do INSTITUTO JURÍDICO DA UNIVERSIDADE DE COIMBRA (IJ) e do CENTRO DE ESTUDOS EM DEMOCRACIA AMBIENTAL DA UFSCAR (CEDA), com o tema “Ambiente de todos, ambiente para todos: ativ
