Capacity Building

The Capacity Building Student Tutorial will be held on November 3 - 7, 2016. The main conference (November 8 - 11, 2016) and tutorial is being organized by the Earth Observation LABOMAR's Laboratory (EOLlab) with the theme “Enabling Earth Observations in support of global, coastal, ocean and climate change research and monitoring”.

Pre-conference tutorials have been a feature of past PORSECs and provide valuable interaction between established researchers and students. Students are given practical examples of remote sensing techniques used for monitoring the ocean-atmosphere system for research and operations. It is also an important opportunity for students to develop their professional network.

There is no additional registration fee for attendance at the tutorial. Participants will be accepted by the Selection and Organizing Committees mainly on the basis of their qualifications and the likely benefit to their research from participation.
