COMPLETED TRAINING COURSES & WEBINARS

Training Course / Webinar Topic Date & Location
WEBINAR:  Innovative services to monitor the spatial distribution of human activities: recognizing offshore fish farming in Greece and identifying coastal aquaculture ponds in Indonesia 2nd February 2018, 11am CET This webinar highlights two VREs that support a computing intensive ontology driven feature analysis of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and multispectral optical imagery (using Sentinel-1 and -2 data, and Very High Resolution optical imagery), where the results are displayed on maps for human reviewers.  2nd February 2018, 11amCET
WEBINAR: "The global record of stocks and fisheries" This webinar presents how the GRSF is designed to handle the information on stock monitoring that countries perform directly or through the Regional Fishery Bodies. 25th January, 3pm CET
