Imperative Space offers 11 training opportunities:
Earth Observation From Space: The Optical View
MOOC (Online) by European Space Agency (ESA) and Imperative Space · Free
The course introduces you to the wide range of applications of satellite Earth observation technology. We will focus in particular on the use of data acquired by satellite sensors which use visible light and near infrared radiation – otherwise known as ‘optical’ Earth observation (EO).
Monitoring Atmospheric Composition
MOOC (Online) by EUMETSAT and Imperative Space · Free
In this course, we will introduce you to the role of ground and air based in situ data and satellite ‘Earth observation’ (EO) technology in monitoring our atmosphere, and to the informative and critically important data it produces.
Catastrophe Modelling
MOOC (Online) by OASIS and Imperative Space · Free
In this course, we will introduce you to catastrophe modelling and the Oasis Loss Modelling Framework, and show you how you can use Oasis tools
Earth Observation - Disruptive Technology and New Space
MOOC (Online) by EUMETSAT and Imperative Space · Free
This course will introduce you to the powerful role of satellite ‘Earth observation’ (EO) technology in monitoring our oceans, and to the beautiful and inspiring nature of the imagery and data it produces.
The Frozen Frontier: Monitoring the Greenland Ice Sheet from Space
MOOC (Online) by European Space Agency (ESA) and Imperative Space · Free
This course will provide you with an overview of the role of ice in the climate system and the impact and implications of a warming climate on the Greenland Ice Sheet.
Monitoring Oceans from Space
MOOC (Online) by EUMETSAT and Imperative Space · Free
This course will introduce you to the powerful role of satellite ‘Earth observation’ (EO) technology in monitoring our oceans, and to the beautiful and inspiring nature of the imagery and data it produces.
EO from Space: The Cryosphere
MOOC (Online) by European Space Agency (ESA) and Imperative Space · Free
In this course we will introduce you to the role of satellite ‘Earth observation’ (EO) technology in monitoring the Earth's Cryosphere and the data it produces.
Aurora: Europe's Journey To Mars
MOOC (Online) by UK Space Agency and Imperative Space · Free
A collection of ten videos describing Aurora's mission to Mars.
Earth Observation: Disruptive Technology and New Space
MOOC (Online) by European Space Agency (ESA) and Imperative Space · Free
This is a short MOOC from ESA which consists of a series of interviews with leading experts across Earth Observation and related technologies. This MOOC also acts as an additional section for the 'Earth Observation from Space: The Optical View' MOOC. The explosion in Earth Observation (EO) data from the Sentinel programme, a new generation of commercial satellites, and emerging constellations of small-sats, has created one of the greatest ‘big data’ challenges in the world today. In this course you will explore technologies such as AI, 3D data visualisation, cloud computing technologies and blockchain, and learn how they are meeting the needs of the ever growing data analytics and data navigation challenges in EO. This short course now includes an extra module on how ESA is responding to the digital trends highlighted in previous modules, and the real-world impact emerging from ESA's Phi innovation strategy.
Impact of COVID-19 measures on Atmospheric Composition
MOOC (Online) by European Space Agency (ESA) and Imperative Space · Free
The global Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic saw many governments take unprecedented measures to limit the spread of the virus. These measures included a mixture of social distancing, a ban on large gatherings, the closing of schools, universities, restaurants and other non-essential stores, and a reduction in air travel, the closure of borders and other non-essential travel restrictions. Many of these measures have had a significant impact on the anthropogenic emissions in the atmosphere due to the drastic drop in road and air traffic and a strong reduction of industrial activities in non-essential sectors across the globe. To assess these impacts, ESA started the 'Impact study of COVID-19 lockdown measures on air quality and climate' (ICOVAC) project. In this short course you will learn about what this project covered and its findings.
Space for International Development Assistance
MOOC (Online) by European Space Agency (ESA) and Imperative Space · Free
The 'MOOC' examines the benefits of Earth Observation (EO) for International Development Assistance (IDA). It features contributions and perspectives from leading voices in development from the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, European Space Agency (ESA) and client countries. It shows examples of data, applications and new capabilities under the Space for IDA cooperation agreement and stemming from the previous EO4SD partnership between ESA, the World Bank and Asian Development Bank, as well as related initiatives.
