Sept 2019 Update:

In collaboration with the Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD), the host of the 4th annual AfriGEO Symposium and 3rd annual RCMRD International Conference (RIC), the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) Working Group on Capacity Building and Data Democracy (WGCapD) organized a tailored pre-conference training on the use of SAR for forestry applications. This training was held on the 9th of August, 2019 at the RCMRD campus, prior to the AfriGEO/RIC conference the 13th – 16th of August 2019. The training benefited 22 participants from various sectors in Kenya. The instructors were from the United States of America’s National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) but represented the CEOS through course content designed to reflect a multi-agency approach to SAR data processing.
