About this event

This workshop is intended for Dalhousie students, staff, or faculty interested in an introduction to viewing and processing passive remote sensing scenes in the SeNtinel Applications Program (or "SNAP").

The workshop will provide an overview of the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem to obtain Sentinel-2 Imagery, how to open the scene in the SNAP platform, and how to execute some basic operations on a multispectral image using SNAP.

Prerequisites: introductory GIS knowledge like spatial resolution, vector vs. raster data models. No remote sensing experience is required.
