Curso gratuito online de monitorización satelital del océano

EUMETSAT, the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites, is offering a free, five-week massive open online course (MOOC) from 24 October to anyone interested in learning more about using satellite data to monitor the health of the oceans.

The course is timed to coincide with the coming on stream of satellite data and products from the Sentinel-3A satellite, which was launched in February and is part of the EU’s flagship Copernicus Programme for monitoring the environment from space. The MOOC is funded by the EU through the Copernicus Programme.

The course will be of interest to anyone with an interest in the marine environment, including those involved in tourism and diving, ocean transport or sailing, coastal planning, aquaculture and fishing, marine biology and many others, Dr Higgins said.

The MOOC will be provided through the online learning platform FutureLearn and registrations are now open.
