What will you learn
In this course, you’ll start with the fundamentals of Earth observation and the role of the Copernicus Program. You’ll explore how satellites like the Sentinels collect essential data on climate, land use, and environmental events.
You’ll then move on to accessing and working with this data. Step by step, you’ll learn how to find Copernicus datasets, analyze them in QGIS and Erdas Imagine, and apply different techniques to visualize changes over time and space. Along the way, we’ll cover key applications—from agriculture and urban planning to environmental monitoring and emergency response.
By combining theory with guided exercises, you’ll gain both the context and the skills to confidently use satellite data. Whether you’re completely new to geodata or looking to deepen your expertise, this course helps you turn complex data into meaningful insights.
