About the Project

This workshop is part of the AfEOP (African Geospatial Data Portal Framework for Science, Capacity-Building, and Decision-Making Purposes) project, a collaboration between the Center for Remote Sensing Applications (CRSA) at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (Morocco) and Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA). The aim of AfEOP is to design and develop a Big Data platform for the automatic acquisition, processing, analysis, and visualization of extensive Remote Sensing data. This platform will support the assessment, monitoring, planning, and management of natural resources, promoting sustainable practices in the face of climate change.

To provide hands-on training in EO techniques relevant for assessment of climate impacts across Africa.

To align research activities with African policies regarding the modeling, prediction, and management of natural resources using EO data.

To facilitate knowledge exchange between international experts and participants, particularly in the context of African environmental and climate applications.
