Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data has become increasingly available, but many potential users are deterred by the pre-processing required to generate an analysis-ready dataset. SAR amplitude datasets often require Radiometric Terrain Correction (RTC) to adjust for the distortions inherent to SAR data.

The coronavirus pandemic is compounding the impact of drought, which is already affecting more lives than ever with serious impact on health, the economy and the environment.
Droughts cannot be avoided but their impact can be mitigated by adopting a pro-active approach to drought risk management. In this webinar, a special focus will be given to innovative tools and measures, including monitoring and early warning systems, vulnerability assessment and risk mitigation measures, in the context of the current pandemic.

Prolonged drought can result in economic, environmental, and health-related impacts. In this webinar, participants will learn how to monitor drought conditions and assess impacts on the ecosystem using precipitation, soil moisture, and vegetation data. The training will provide an overview of drought classification, as well as an introduction to web-based tools for drought monitoring and visualization. Lectures will be followed by hands-on demonstrations of data access and visualization.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
