The Tropical Resource Mapping Research Group of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) in collaboration with PORSEC Association, UTMLead, COSPAR and Asia Pacific Network for Global Change Research are pleased to organize a virtual capacity building development program on “Ocean Remote Sensing towards Climate Resilience”. The focus is to enhance the capacity building among early-career scientists towards sustainable and climate resilience through effective ocean monitoring by satellite remote sensing.
About our MOOC
Be our scholar!
There are 13 modules available through pre-recorded videos, and a student-mentorship program (synchronize or non-synchronized) to conduct/discuss grouped projects.
