Report on the NOWPAP- PICES Joint Training Course on Remote Sensing Data Analysis
21-25 October 2013 at Qingdao, China
Introduction
The NOWPAP- PICES joint training course on remote sensing data analysis was organized by the NOWPAP Special Monitoring & Coastal Environmental Assessment Regional Activity Centre (CEARAC) and the North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES) at Academic Exchange Center in Ocean University of China, Qingdao, China on 21-25 October 2013. The training course was conducted for 23 selected trainees (Appendix 1), including postgraduate students, professional researchers and local government officers working in the field of marine sciences, from China, Korea, Canada, Cameroon, and Oman. 7 lecturers from the NOWPAP countries (China, Japan, Korea and Russia) and Germany and USA delivered lectures on remote sensing applications for monitoring and assessment of the marine and coastal environment in the Northwest Pacific Region (Appendix 2).
Objectives
Objective of this activity is to provide opportunities for students, young researchers and coastal managers to help obtain useful skills and knowledge to utilize remote sensing data in monitoring and assessment of the marine environment.
Date and Venue
The date and venue of this training course were as follows
- Date; October 21 to 25, 2013
- Venue; Academic Exchange Center in Ocean University of China, Qingdao, China
Organization Structures
The training course was operated under the following organization structures:
- Organizer :
Special Monitoring & Coastal Environment Assessment Regional Activity Centre (CEARAC)
North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES) - Co-organizer and local host institution :
Ocean Remote Sensing Institute, Ocean University of China
Chinese National Environmental Monitoring Center (CNEMC), Ministry of Environmental Protection
23 trainees were selected out of 73 applicants by screening by the Organizing Committee consisting of experts in CEARAC, PICES, IOCCG and CNEMC, based on the contents of submitted application.
Course Fee
Training course was provided for free of charge.
