The Biotechnology Faculty of Universitas Atma Jaya Yogyakarta, in collaboration with experts from the University of Oregon and the Singapore-MIT Research Alliance, is proud to present a free workshop on Earth Topography and Biomass Mapping utilizing ICESat-2 satellite imagery.
This workshop will be conducted on Friday, August 23, 2024, from 08:30 to 16:00, located in the Thomas Aquinas Building, Jalan Babarsari no. 44, Yogyakarta. This workshop offers a unique opportunity for participants to engage directly with professionals in Remote Sensing. The in-person trainers are Alex Cobb from the Singapore-MIT Research Alliance and Daniel Gavin from the University of Oregon.
The workshop will cover hands-on training sessions guided by experienced trainers, practical insights into utilizing Python and QGIS software for data analysis, and instruction on leveraging ICE-Sat2 satellite images to create comprehensive topography and biomass maps. For those new to Python and QGIS, a preparatory module will be available two weeks before the event. This module includes step-by-step instructions for installing the required software, ensuring all participants are well-prepared for the workshop activities.
