Advanced GIS Training Methods: IUC and K-means Clustering
Short course by Geospatial Training Solutions · POA · Current
In these two morning sessions, we will discuss the Internet User Classification and Retail Centre Typology datasets from the CDRC and the methods used to create them. K-means clustering is used to create many different data sets, including the geodemographic classification, OAC. We will discuss the IUC and RCT datasets, how and why they were created, and what they can be used for. We will also discuss and show you how to use the K-means clustering method to create your own classification, using IUC as an example.

Aseptic Processing: Principles in Practice
Short course by Honeyman · £1560 · Current
It is well understood that sterility of an aseptic product cannot be determined by direct assessment of the finished product. Therefore, microbiological safety of the product can only be achieved by careful assessment of the hazards and control measures in place to provide the confidence that the items are safe for the patient and fit for use. Historically aseptic processes have relied heavily on monitoring of the environment, air, surfaces and personnel to verify the success of the process. However, modern aseptic processes require a more holistic assessment of all the protective measures in place within the process and the complex interaction between these control measures, this approach is fully covered within this course. We guarantee that on completion of this course, with the knowledge gained, you will look at aseptic processing from a new perspective.
Land in Focus – Agriculture & Food
MOOC by European Space Agency (ESA) and EO College · Free · Current
Forests are responsible for supporting essential life processes, from purifying the air we breathe to maintaining healthy soils and clean water sources. Around the world, communities rely on the ecosystem services provided by forests to support their livelihoods. However, deforestation and forest degradation are threatening forest ecosystems worldwide, thus disturbing the climate change mitigation which forests provide, and which we desperately need. Using remote sensing satellites and techniques, we are able to map and monitor forests. This enables us to view changes in forest cover, alert authorities about deforestation events, and monitor the relationship between forests and greenhouse gasses (GHG’s). In this course, you will learn about the drivers of deforestation as well as how satellites and time series disturbance detection methods can identify deforestation events, even in areas masked by clouds. In the final lesson on Biomass Estimation, you will learn why tracking biomass is important, how it’s done, and how to overcome inaccuracies when estimating biomass.
UK SAR Workshop
Seminar by Space Hub Yorkshire · Free · Past
Space Hub Yorkshire presents the UK SAR Workshop. SAR – Synthetic Aperture Radar – is an active imaging process with applications to environment, civil and defence sectors. SAR sensors can be hosted on satellites, drones or in-situ and have the ability to ‘see through clouds’, meaning that SAR imagery of the Earth can be constructed when optical imagery cannot, for example when it’s cloudy or at night. With the new UK Space Strategy and Defence Space Strategy, there is a big need for the UK to develop its SAR capability as we seek to expand both our civil and defence use of Space data. The UK has world-renowned expertise in SAR, and this workshop is particularly timely because of the status of the UK involvement in Copernicus and the potential failure of ESA SAR satellite Sentinel-1b. Space Hub Yorkshire are hosting a one-day UK SAR Workshop on Monday 11th April, to stimulate discussions across the academic, commercial, civil and defence communities. We hope this will be a great opportunity to bring the whole UK community together. This will be held at Nexus, University of Leeds, with the option to join virtually.
Rise and Design: Opportunities in Space
Seminar by Innovate UK EDGE North · Free · Past
Space is much closer than you think, and there are a host of possibilities to be had from the use of data, information and images gathered from the hundreds of satellites orbiting the earth. Traffic management, farming, monitoring of ground deformation, prevention of illegal fishing, monitoring bridges and other infrastructure, all of these and many more are made possible by access to satellite data. We'll be hearing from the experts at the Satellite Centre of Excellence in County Durham, and some of the companies they're working with, to give you an insight into how it could transform your business.
Assessing risk in engineering, work and life
MOOC by The Open University · Free · Current
Risk is something that must be taken into account at all times when practising as an engineer. We accept risk as part of everyday life so there is a need to balance the risks of an activity against the benefits that it brings. This free course, Assessing risk in engineering, work and life, investigates how we can manage risks at work, in the home and in the wider community. Risk is tied in with accidents so it is vital to understand how accidents arise, how likely they are to occur and how they can be prevented. These subjects are all covered in this course.
