Water Quality Monitoring Using Remote Sensing Measurements

Water Quality Monitoring Using Remote Sensing Measurements

NASA_logo.svgThe goal of the NASA Applied Remote SEnsing Training (ARSET) is to increase the utility of NASA earth science and model data for policy makers, regulatory agencies, and other applied science professionals in the areas of Health and Air Quality, Water Resources, Eco Forecasting, and Disaster Management.

The two primary activities of this project are webinars and in-person courses.

ARSET is sponsored by the Applied Sciences Program within NASA’s Earth Sciences Division.  We would like to thank Nancy Searby, Applied Sciences’ Capacity Builiding Program Manager for her support of this project

Course Objective: To introduce remote sensing data, their access, analysis, and applications for water quality (WQ) monitoring in coastal oceans, estuaries, and in-land lakes.

Duration: 11/18/2014 to 12/02/2014
