Introductory Webinar: Introduction to Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, Ocean Ecosystem (PACE) Hyperspectral Observations for Water Quality Monitoring

September 25, October 2, & October 9, 2024 10:00-11:30 EDT (UTC-4) This three-part introductory training will provide an overview of past and current hyperspectral sensors. Specifically, the training will provide information on NASA’s PACE mission, its sensors and data products, webtools to access data, and software for processing hyperspectral data and water quality parameters derived from PACE/OCI. The training will also highlight some advantages and limitations of PACE data. This will be the first ARSET training focusing on the use of hyperspectral data for water quality applications.

We are ready to share, encourage, inspire, our Earth observation community to join the GEO EDI two webinars to celebrate the UN International Youth Day 2024 – Monday August 12th. The theme of the year is a very good fit for the GEO community.

2024 Theme: From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development

Below follows a short description of the webinars. We will hear different voices covering the same overall theme in the two webinars. If you can, you will be able to enjoy both of them to widen your perspective and be even more inspired by our youth community.

To accommodate the global community we have put together a program/registration page for our regional GEOs as follows:

Register here and read about speakers: AOGEO and AfriGEO – 7 am UTC | 10 am EAT | 3 pm CST

Register here and read about speakers: AmeriGEO and EuroGEO – 5 pm UTC | 10 am PDT | 1 pm EDT

What
Please, join the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Subgroup of the GEO Programme Board in our 2024 webinar series and be inspired by engaging stories from around the world that celebrate gender, indigenous people and youth perspectives in the Earth observation community. These webinars will be held as the world is recognizing women, indigenous people, and youth on their United Nations designated International Days.

The theme of the 2024 UN International Youth Day is From Clicks to Progress: Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable In this webinar GEO EDI invite representatives from the GEO Youth community to share their perspectives and tell stories about working on the use of Earth observations. We will discuss how Youth communities sees the potential in Earth observations to support sustainable development.

Why now?
Celebrating the UN International Youth Day is a welcomed way to create awareness about GEO and how the Youth sees the potential in Earth observation data and knowledge sharing. It is exciting to learn about the perspectives of the younger generations. This webinar is one of many ways GEO follows up the GEO Youth statement and make their voices heard and hopefully we will inspire a wider younger community.

Who is it for?
This webinar aims to reach the youth, and all individuals within Global Earth observation community, scientists, data experts, innovation community, trainers, educators, researchers, applied scientists and policy makers.
