As water security under changing climate being one of the most critical international issues, the current challenges and opportunities lie in:
- 1 the capability of the water cycle model in representing the physical hydrological process and
- 2 accuracy, reliability, and adequacy of forcing data (ground and remote sensing observation).
Satellite remote sensing technique bears the promising potential to overcome the limited spatial coverage of in-situ observations thus enabling better understanding of water cycles at regional and global scales. Particularly, satellite remote sensing technique is of importance for emerging regions where have inadequate or even no in-situ observations. However, Universities in engineering or applied science has been slow to embrace satellite remote sensing.
Objectives
This course aims to provide students a fundamental yet practical skillset to understand basics of satellite remote sensing for hydrology and water resource management under changing climate. Specifically, it addresses the following questions:
- What are the satellite missions/data available for water and climate study?
- How remote-sensing data can be used for water security study, especially over emerging regions such South America?
- What have we contributed to the hydrological capacity building over the globe?
The course is aimed at
Methodology
Content
Sections
The course includes three Sections:
- 1) overviews the satellite remote sensing observations of global water cycle components;
- 2) reviews the various applications of satellite remote sensing to hydrology and climate study in different regions; and
- 3) further introduces hydrological capacity building efforts by collaborating with decision makers, in order to enhance the preparedness and mitigation of the water-disasters and climate change.
