Trans-Atlantic-Training (TAT) 2022: A Changing Eastern Europe: New Challenges for Science and Capacity Building in Land Remote Sensing
Abstract
The main objective of the Trans-Atlantic Training (TAT) initiative is to provide educational activities for students and early career scientists in the field of Earth observation, with an emphasis on remote sensing of land cover change and ecosystem dynamics. The purpose of TAT is to share and discuss advanced research methods and technologies from space through a series of meetings for scientists and students from both Europe and the USA.
The topic of TAT 2022 (TAT-9) is “A Changing Eastern Europe: New Challenges for Science and Capacity Building in Land Remote Sensing”. Leading experts from Europe and the US will present and discuss state-of-the-art advanced Earth observation methods. Technologies, tutorials and data from ESA and NASA missions will be presented and practiced in a hands-on training session. Lectures and training activities will focus on dynamic land cover/land use changes evoked by unprecedented processes (e.g. epidemic of Covid-19, war conflicts, changes in global trade). Earth observation methods and data will be presented and trained in monitoring and evaluating the impact of these factors on agricultural land, urban areas or food security. Different types of sensors and their combination will be demonstrated: SAR data of the Sentinel-1 mission and optical data from the Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 missions.
