Modeling Forest Aboveground Biomass using EO Data and Machine Learning: Challenges and Opportunities
MOOC by AI.Geolabs · Free · Current
Miombo woodland ecosystems (in Africa) play a vital role in the global carbon cycle, however, it is currently difficult to know how much carbon they store and sequester due to a lack of data. Therefore, an accurate estimation of forest above ground biomass (AGB) is required to provide the baseline of forest carbon stocks and quantify the anthropogenic emissions caused by deforestation and forest degradation. In addition, accurate estimation of forest AGB is critical to implementing cost-effective carbon emission mitigation strategies.

Vegetation and Forest Cover Applications
MOOC by AI.Geolabs · Free · Current
Vegetation is essential in the global terrestrial ecosystem since it provides ecosystem services such as protecting the land surface, modifying the local climate, and conserving biodiversity. The structure of vegetation substantially influences ecosystem function and productivity. Scientists report that vegetation structure correlates with biophysical parameters such as aboveground biomass (AGB) and primary productivity. Therefore, detailed quantification of vegetation structure is crucial for assessing the structure and functioning of ecosystems.
Executive training for the space sector
Seminar by Alden Legal, University of Leicester, and National Space Academy (NSA) · POA · Current

This one-day course is a brilliant primer for executives from all backgrounds
High - Altitude Training
Workshop by Space Training Academy · POA · Current
In a spacecraft, you can breathe normally because the cabin pressure is kept under control. In case of a malfunction, this pressure can drop, lowering the quantity of available oxygen. During this training, we expose you to oxygen deprivation under the supervision of our experts.
Time-Lapses
Resource by Sentinel Hub · Free · Current
Have you ever wanted to make a cool time-lapse of a certain location, but there were clouds in a way? Or the area was too large to process at once? Read our guide for creating animations from different data collections obtained via Sentinel Hub services and follow along with the provided Jupyter Notebook.
High - G Centrifuge Training
Workshop by Space Training Academy · POA · Current
If you want to go into space, you need to know how your body will react under extreme physiological conditions. One of the things to test is your tolerance to high accelerations, also known as "high - g". During this training, you can discover in a safe environment how much g you can endure. Our team of specialists teaches you how to increase your tolerance to avoid a g - induced blackout.
Leveraging Earth Observation (EO) Data and Cloud Computing for Disaster Risk Management
MOOC by AI.Geolabs · Free · Current
The UN report that extreme weather and climate events are projected to increase over decades. Scientists warn that the frequency of cyclones and heavy storms, on the one hand, and the intensity of droughts and wildfires, on the other hand, will likely increase globally. Furthermore, the power of weather- and climate-related disasters will also increase economic losses that affect the poor and marginalized communities. Therefore, there is a need to understand the spatial and inter-annual variability of natural disasters and the population’s exposure to disaster risk. For example, information on the spatial extent of an event and the degree of destruction is critical in supporting emergency response, recovery, rehabilitation, and reconstruction.
Geospatial Machine Learning for Mapping Urban Land Cover in Earth Engine

Data-centric Explainable Machine Learning for Land Cover Mapping
MOOC by AI.Geolabs · Free · Current
In this course, explainable machine learning refers to the extent to which the underlying mechanism of a machine learning model can be explained (Biecek and Burzykowski 2020). That is, explainable machine learning models allow us (humans) to explain what the model learned and how it made predictions (post-hoc). Note this is different from interpretable machine learning (e.g., linear and logistic regression models), which refers to the extent to which a cause and effect are observed within a model (Molnar 2019).
