As part of its tenth edition, the Spring School of the Gulich Institute and the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (IEEE-GRSS) proposes an intensive training space dedicated to the study of one of the main environmental challenges of today: the degradation of water quality in anthropized basins and the increase in eutrophication processes.

Over five days, national and international specialists will share knowledge and experiences on satellite monitoring, water body remediation and environmental management, integrating optical remote sensing tools, data analysis, fieldwork and discussion of real cases.

The proposal combines theoretical classes, practical workshops, laboratory activities, measurement campaigns in the San Roque reservoir and spaces for exchange between researchers, professionals and organizations responsible for the management of water resources.

The School is aimed at:

• • • Master’s and doctoral students;
    • researchers;
    • professionals in the space and environmental sector;
    • specialists in environmental engineering, biology, chemistry, limnology and geosciences;
    • technical staff of water management agencies;
    • those responsible for decision-making in environmental policies.

Nominations are especially encouraged from women affiliated with IEEE-GRSS and from members of historically underrepresented groups.

GEO AquaWatch is excited to co-sponsor the training alongside many other partners – and we are delighted to provide a session co-developed with the World Water Quality Alliance’s Earth Observation Workstream on the role of international organisations in water management policy and ensuring water framework directives are followed regionally and nationally.  We will also have an interactive user engagement session which involves role-playing and requirements gathering.  This training is available both in person and virtually and this interactive training is customised for both the in person and online audiences to effectively participate.  We are also excited that many GEO AquaWatch colleagues will present their work and professional insights throughout the training agenda, including sharing a practical session on accessing and processing satellite data by the University of Stirling (Scotland) colleagues.
