SUMMARY:ESA Cryosphere Remote Sensing Training Course 
LOCATION:University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS) in Longyearbyen\, Svalbard
DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>BACKGROUND</strong></p><p>As part of the Earth Observation (EO) 
 Science for Society – Scientific Exploitation element of EOEP-5 program, th
 e European Space Agency (ESA) is organizing an advanced training course on 
 remote sensing of the Cryosphere, devoted to train the next generation of s
 cientists and specialists to exploit EO data for science and applications.<
 /p><p><strong>PARTICIPATION</strong></p><p>Postgraduate-level, PhD students
 , post-doctoral research scientists and users from Europe and Canada intere
 sted in applications of remote sensing of the Cryosphere are welcome to app
 ly to the 6-day course, held at University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS) in Lon
 gyearbyen, Svalbard, from 11 to 16 June 2018.</p><p>Participants from all o
 ther countries are also welcome to apply, subject to availability of places
 .</p><p><strong>FEES</strong></p><p>No participation fees will be charged f
 or the training. Participants are expected to finance their own travel and 
 accommodation expenses. The official language of the course is English.<br 
 /><br /><strong>OBJECTIVES</strong></p><p>The Advanced Cryosphere Training 
 Course aims at:</p><ul><li>To train the next generation of scientists on Re
 mote Sensing of the Cryosphere;</li><li>To provide an advanced understandin
 g of theoretical principles, processing algorithms, data products and their
  use in applications;</li><li>To give hands-on practice with tools and meth
 ods for satellite data exploitation as well as fieldwork experience for in-
 situ cryosphere-related data collection;</li><li>To provide insights of EO 
 challenges/opportunities within the polar context for further studies.</li>
