Help Shape the Future of the UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal
The UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal is your one-stop platform for resources on space-based disaster risk management. It provides: • Links and guidance on satellite data sources and applications • Recommended practices and step-by-step methodologies • Training materials and tutorials • Case studies and user stories from real-world applications • News and updates on UN-SPIDER activities, events, and global developments
Since its last major review in 2012, the Portal has evolved significantly. Now, we want to hear from you.
We invite you to take part in the 2025 evaluation of the UN-SPIDER Knowledge Portal!
Free advanced webinar from the Applied Remote Sensing Training (ARSET) programme at NASA.
This webinar series will help to perform advanced image processing of satellite data. It also incorporates the learning about using satellites to track indicators of harmful algal blooms. This will include monitoring water temperature and chlorophyll-a concentrations. Finally, the information course can be use for reporting around UN SDG 6.
The learning objectives are:
Access MODIS and Landsat data
Perform image processing of MODIS and Landsat data
Monitor water temperature and chlorophyll-a concentrations as harmful algal bloom indicators
This training will focus on water resource managers, water intake managers, and fishery and aquaculture managers and farmers.
