APPLIED REMOTE SENSING TRAINING (ARSET) PROGRAM
The Applied Remote Sensing Training (ARSET) program empowers the global community through remote sensing training. Participants learn how to use NASA Earth data and models for environmental management and decision support through online and in person training. Trainings are intended primarily for policymakers, NGOs, and other applied science professionals seeking to incorporate NASA remote sensing into their daily activities. ARSET hosts both introductory and advanced webinars each delivered in a series consisting of multiple parts. Check the individual webinar page for its level and more information. Most webinars have materials available in English and Spanish. Introductory Webinars: Trainings are appropriate for applied professionals with no remote sensing experience. Advanced Webinars: Trainings are appropriate for professionals with experience in remote sensing or NASA data and resources. Advanced topics will detail specific data or applications by region or discipline. These advanced trainings have case studies and hands-on exercises for participants on data access and processing.
Learning Objectives: Participants will become familiar with satellite orbits, types, resolutions, sensors and processing levels. In addition to a conceptual understanding of remote sensing, attendees will also be able to articulate its advantages and disadvantages. Participants will also have a basic understanding of NASA satellites, sensors, data, tools, portals and applications to environmental monitoring and management. Audience: These trainings are appropriate for professionals with no previous experience in remote sensing.
