We are thrilled to announce the upcoming second edition of the highly anticipated Copernicus Land User Event! Following the success and positive feedback received from last year's event, we couldn't be more excited to bring together industry leaders, experts, and enthusiasts once again.

Webinar organized by the FIG Climate Compass Task Force and part of its 'Conversations & Consultations Webinar Series'. Registrations are now open.

El Foro Regional “Asegurar los territorios indígenas para proteger la vida”, que se llevará a cabo en el marco del lanzamiento de la Campaña Regional del mismo nombre y como parte de las acciones conmemorativas de la ILC por el Día Internacional de los Pueblos Indígenas, busca ser espacio de intercambio y de diálogo para comprender y visibilizar la situación de los derechos territoriales de los pueblos indígenas, la importancia de respetar sus propias formas de gobierno, así como su rol clave para enfrentar la crisis ambiental global.

NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) has opened a new open, online webinar series: Monitoring Water Quality of Inland Lakes using Remote Sensing. This advanced-level training will focus on using remote sensing observations from Landsat 8 and 9, Sentinel-2, and Sentinel-3 for assessing water quality parameters, including chlorophyll-a concentration, turbidity, and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) in inland lakes. This training will also highlight the importance of in situ measurements of these parameters, coincident with satellite observations, in developing methodologies for operational water quality monitoring.

NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) has opened a new open, online webinar series: Assessing the Impacts of Fires on Watershed Health. This advanced-level, three-part training will focus on using remote sensing observations for monitoring post-fire impacts on watershed health. Specifically, this training will highlight uses of NASA Earth observations (EO) for pre-fire land cover mapping, watershed delineation and stream mapping, post-fire burn severity mapping, and pre- and post-fire riverine and freshwater water quality.

After two weeks of tense talks, the recent UN Biodiversity Conference COP15 ended with a landmark agreement to guide global action on nature through to 2030. The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), includes concrete measures to halt and reverse nature loss, including putting 30% of the planet and 30% of degraded ecosystems under protection by 2030. 

NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) has opened a new open, online webinar series: Application of NASA SPoRT-Land Information System (SPoRT-LIS) Soil Moisture Data for Drought. This 3-part webinar series is focused on the introduction of the NASA Land Information System (LIS) output of soil moisture at various depths for drought analysis and monitoring. Examples from operational applications as well as practice exercises (for using LIS data for drought monitoring) will be included in this course. Access to the SPoRT-LIS products via online viewer, in GIS formats, and GIS-based display tools, will also be included. Moreover, self-paced microlessons will be available to help users confirm their understanding and improve their skill via homework lessons between live sessions.

En el marco de la Segunda reunión de la Conferencia de las Partes del Acuerdo de Escazú (COP2 Escazú), la Plataforma Latinoamericana de Defensores y Defensoras de la Tierra y Territorio contra el Extractivismo, Oxfam, la Coalición Nacional por la Tierra ENI Argentina y la International Land Coalition América Latina y el Caribe llevaremos adelante "Tensiones y riesgos de los defensores y defensoras ambientales en América Latina"

SEGUNDA REUNIÓN DE LA CONFERENCIA DE LAS PARTES DEL ACUERDO REGIONAL SOBRE EL ACCESO A LA INFORMACIÓN, LA PARTICIPACIÓN PÚBLICA Y EL ACCESO A LA JUSTICIA EN ASUNTOS AMBIENTALES EN AMÉRICA LATINA Y EL CARIBE

Buenos Aires, 19 a 21 de abril de 2023

NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) has opened a new online introductory webinar series: Fundamentals of Machine Learning for Earth Science. This three-part training, presented in English and Spanish, is open to the public and will provide attendees an overview of machine learning in regards to Earth Science, and how to apply these algorithms and techniques to remote sensing data in a meaningful way. Attendees will also be provided with end-to-end case study examples for generating a simple random forest model for land cover classification from optical remote sensing. We will also present additional case studies to apply the presented workflows using additional NASA data.

NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) has opened a new online advanced webinar series: Crop Mapping using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Optical Remote Sensing. This three-part training, presented in English and Spanish, is open to the public and builds on previous ARSET agricultural trainings. Here we present more advanced radar remote sensing techniques using polarimetry and a canopy structure dynamic model to monitor crop growth. The training will also cover methods that use machine learning methods to classify crop type using a time series of Sentinel-1 & Sentinel-2 imagery. This series will include practical exercises using the Sentinel Application Platform (SNAP) and Python code written in Python Jupyter Notebooks, a web-based interactive development environment for scientific computing and machine learning.

Acerca del III Foro Mundial de Derechos Humanos 2023

El Foro Mundial de Derechos Humanos 2023 es un espacio de debate público sobre los Derechos Humanos en el mundo, los principales avances y desafíos centrados en el respeto a las diferencias, la participación social, la reducción de las desigualdades, promoviendo la equidad e inclusión social.
