Geospatial Applications
of
Satellite Generated Atmospheric and Climatic
Data
(co-funded by ASEA Uninet, Austria for 2017)
|
INTRODUCTION
The advances in Remote Sensing technologies during the last decades have facilitated continuous observations of atmospheric and climatic conditions both in terms of space and time. The satellite generated atmospheric and climatic data are useful not only for hourly weather forecasts to prevent related natural disasters or supporting agricultural activities etc. but also provide time series data facilitating climate change analysis and modelling. The permutations and combinations of various spatial and temporal indicators of atmospheric pollution and climatic changes as well as their impacts on environment and society have been observed widely over the decades. Effective geospatial applications of satellite generated atmospheric and climatic data requires understanding of relevant remote sensing technologies and the types of datasets these provide. The wider applications involve interdisciplinary methodologies and sophisticate technologies for processing the datasets appropriately and analysing their spatial and temporal interrelationships. GIScience has developed the tools and techniques for processing and analysing various types of Geospatial information and re-presenting the present, re-constructing the past and projecting the future scenarios.
OBJECTIVE
- develop in-depth understanding of satellite based observation if atmospheric and climatic factors
- introduce a variety of sophisticate methods and efficient GIS-technologies to analyse various processes
- give
'hands-on' practical training using GIS-software for capturing,
processing and analysing various types of spatial information for
re-presenting the present, re-constructing the past and projecting the
future trends.
ACTIVITIES
- Organise a short intensive ‘Interdisciplinary Faculty Development Workshops’ at the
host institution in Indonesia and invite participants from several
ASEA Uninet member Universities in Southeast Asia.
The reason for
organising a short intensive multi-partner ‘Faculty Development Workshop’ is to
network with several institutions (to share the ’know-how’ and generate higher multiplier
effect within a short period (1 week) and initiate an academic network for
future scientific cooperation among several institutions of higher education.

| OUTCOMES (see the blog here)
- An intensive Interdisciplinary Faculty Development Workshop was organised at the Department of Forest Resources Conservation and Ecotourism, Bogor Agricultural University (IPB), Bogor, Indonesia from 23rd to 27th October, 2017.
- about 25 teachers and postgraduate students participated in the workshop and completed individual practical projects exploring Geospatial Applications of Satellite Generated Atmospheric and Climatic Data.
- All the participants presented the outcomes of their individual projects in the concluding seminar.
