Guyana Geospatial Capacity Building Workshops
These workshops aim to build participants’ capacity to use geospatial technologies for mangrove and hydrological event management. For a detailed overview, you can read the workshop’s concept note. By the end of this training series, participants will gain:
- A conceptual understanding of geographic information systems and use of QGIS;
- Knowledge of the use and interpretation of moderate and high resolution satellite imagery and synthetic aperture radar data;
- An overview of the Google Earth Engine platform;
- Methodological approaches for mangrove and flood mapping and change detection.
The lesson content for each workshop can be found in the tabs on the lefthand side panel. Additionally, you can find information about all the workshop partners under the Partners tab, supplementary learning material under the Resources tab, and photos from the workshops (and a place to upload your own photos) under the Photos tab.
