Report on the NOWPAP/PICES/WESTPAC Joint Training Course on Remote Sensing Data Analysis
8-12 October 2011 at Vladivostok, Russia
Introduction
The NOWPAP/PICES/WESTPAC joint training course on remote sensing data analysis was organized by the NOWPAP Special Monitoring & Coastal Environmental Assessment Regional Activity Centre (CEARAC), the North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES) and IOC Sub-Commission for the Western Pacific (WESTPAC) at Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) in Vladivostok, Russia on 8-12 October 2011.
The training course was conducted for 22 selected trainees, including postgraduate students, professional researchers and local government officers working in the field of marine sciences, from China, Japan, Korea, Russia, India, Indonesia and the Philippines. 11 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.
Objectives
