In 2021, NASA's Applied Remote Sensing Program (ARSET) hosted an online instructor-led training, “Hyperspectral Data for Land and Coastal Systems.” Given the popularity of this training and the increasing availability and use of hyperspectral data, ARSET has made the original recordings available as a self-paced course. Participants can now earn a certificate of completion for this training on the basics of hyperspectral remote sensing.
Applications of hyperspectral data include invasive species, forest health, phytoplankton functional types, wetland and shallow benthic community mapping, harmful algal bloom (HAB) detection, and ocean dynamics. The data’s high spectral resolution improves our ability to characterize vegetation types and biogeochemical processes across land and oceans.
The no-cost, self-paced training is open to the public and recommended for organizations involved in invasive species management, forest monitoring, coastal and ocean processes, and innovative remote sensing techniques.
