Introductory Webinar: Understanding Phenology with Remote Sensing

Start Date:
June 30, 2020
End Date:
July 14, 2020
Description:
Three 1-hour sessions. June 30, 2020 | July 7, 2020 | July 14, 2020 — 11AM-12PM EDT (UTC-4) This training will focus on the use of remote sensing to understand phenology: the study of life-cycle events. Phenological patterns and processes can vary greatly across a range of spatial and temporal scales, and can provide insights about ecological processes like invasive species encroachment, drought, wildlife habitat, and wildfire potential. This training will highlight NASA-funded tools to observe and study phenology across a range of scales. Attendees will be exposed to the latest in phenological observatory networks and science, and how these observations relate to ecosystem services, the carbon cycle, biodiversity, and conservation.
Targeted Audience:
This training is designed for individuals and organizations interested in using satellite imagery for mapping vegetation health and seasonal patterns. Professional organizations in the public and private sectors engaged in environmental management and monitoring will be given preference over organizations focused primarily on research.
Expected Outcomes:
Learning Objectives: By the end of this training series, attendees will be able to: Summarize NASA satellites and sensors that can be used for monitoring global phenology patterns Outline the benefits and limitations of NASA data for phenology Describe the multi-scalar approach to vegetation life cycle analyses Compare and contrast data from multiple phenology networks Evaluate various projects and case-study examples of phenological data
