Conference "2nd Workshop on Education and Training"
HomepageRemote sensing of the earth covers many topics that are significant for all natural science disciplines in school and university curricula. Satellite imagery and data derived from satellite sensors are available for studies of local phenomena around schools, up to large-scale perspectives showing the diversity of nature in the various climate regions on earth. This allows thus to point out the dependence between local and global scales. Remote sensing data are used to observe and understand actual conditions on earth, but they also allow us to outline the methods for predicting future developments – e.g. of the climate system – with models.
All relevant institutions and or interested individuals are invited to participate. In particular the workshop is also addressed to the Global Environment and Security (GMES) programme of the European Commission and the European Space Agency. The success of GMES services and information products depends on specific training activities which include remote sensing for earth observation as a core element.
Topics:
- Presentations on the use current use of earth observation as support tool for education
- Earth observation for kids
- Earth observation and its associated use to support science education at schools, high schools and universities
- Earth observation and its use as educational support in areas like biology, chemistry, geography, physics and mathematics curricula
- Training activities in GMES, GEOSS and other international programmes
- Earth observation and its use for public outreach of environmental sciences and global change
