Water Resources Assessment using Remote-Sensing Data

In this course, students will learn the basics of remote sensing and how these datasets are used in combination with other global datasets to assess, analyse and map water resources at the river basin scale. Participants will develop basic GIS and Python skills to produce a river basin fact-sheet. The course covers key concepts of remote sensing, an overview of available remote sensing and other non-traditional data sources, and spatio-temporal data analysis techniques in QGIS and Python to assess water resources and hydrological processes.
