BENGALURU, 11 July 2021: ISRO is offering two free online courses on Geospatial Modelling and Geospatial Technology. Students and professionals can apply for the same and get certificates upon completion.
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is offering two free online courses on Geospatial Modelling and Geospatial Technology through its Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS) centre. Students and professionals can apply for the same and get certificates upon completion.
The free online certificate courses are titled Geospatial Modelling for Watershed Management and Geospatial Technology for Hydrological Modelling.
The two online courses are for both students and professionals who are interested in learning about the fields of soil and water conservation.
Geospatial Modelling for Watershed Management
Geospatial technologies including remote sensing, GIS and GPS have emerged as a powerful tool in recent years for assessment and monitoring of watershed management.
Course dates: August 2 to 6, 2021
What will students learn?
Overview of RS and GIS applications in watershed management
Digital Terrain Analysis for watershed characterization
Geospatial modelling for soil erosion assessment in the watershed
Land use planning and soil and water conservation measures
Monitoring of watershed development programs using RS and GIS
Eligibility
Graduate in Science/ Agriculture Science/Agricultural or Civil Engineering
Understanding of Basic concepts of Remote Sensing and GIS
Note: There is a limited number of seats and registration will be done on a first-come-first-serve basis.
How to register
Course updates and other details will be available on URL- http://www.iirs.gov.in/Edusat-News/.
All the participants have to register online through the registration page available on the above web page.
How to attend classes
Course study materials like lecture slides, video-recorded lectures, open-source software and handouts of demonstrations, etc. will be made available through eclass. Video lectures will also be uploaded on e-class (https://www.eclass.iirs.gov.in/login).
Individuals can attend the course live via any web browser through the eclass portal of IIRS Dehradun i.e. https://eclass.iirs.gov.in
The participants can also attend the live workshop via the YouTube channel of IIRS i.e https://www.youtube.com/user/edusat2004
The content of the workshop will be available offline after 24 hours in the eclass portal.
How to get a certificate
Participants need to attend 70% of sessions of the course live via the e-class portal.
Participants who attend the course sessions via the IIRS YouTube channel should mark their attendance via offline sessions available after 24 hrs.
Geospatial Technology for Hydrological Modelling
Hydrological modelling is an effective and essential tool for assessment, prediction and management of water resources, hydrological parameters and water movement/demand/use scenarios.
Course dates: July 19 to 30, 2021
What will students learn?
Geospatial technology applications for Water Resources: An Overview
Type of hydrological models and spatial, non-spatial data inputs for hydrological modelling
Digital elevation model and its derivatives for hydrological modelling
Rainfall-Runoff Modelling
Snow/glacier melt-runoff modelling
Soil erosion and sediment yield modelling
Flood peak estimation using hydrological modelling
River flow modelling using 1D hydrodynamic
Impact climate change on hydrological regime
Eligibility
Graduate degree in Science/Technology
