Improve satellite and ground-based data utilization
Satellites offer amazing capabilities for monitoring Earth’s atmosphere. The number of available sensors and the amount of data available is huge. This vast ocean of information can be overwhelming even for experienced users. New users of satellite data can find the process of learning how to use this information slow, frustrating and overwhelming. It can take months to get started and years to learn how to use the data effectively.
GRASP-Earth offers training workshops to private, public and non-profit organizations who want their personnel to be able to efficiently use satellite remote sensing data for measuring particulates or trace gases in the Earth’s atmosphere. We focus on teaching skills so that users can go on to independently use the data to solve problems and answer questions.
Our team at GRASP-Earth has over 30 years of experience using and training others in how to make the best use of satellite remote sensing data. We pass on our experience and acquired knowledge to provide more than just a technical training. We focus on teaching skills, so that users can continue to develop their abilities to use satellite and ground data to solve mission critical problems.
GRASP ACE Summer School team (August 2019 . Granada, Spain)
We teach your team members how to answer the following questions
How do I find out what data is available?
Where can I find and how good is the quality of the data?
How do I understand the data?
What tools are there to find and use the data?
So that your organization can answer operational questions like
What type of particulates or gases are being observed?
In what amounts and how good is our data?
Can we see trends over time?
How do we determine sources and sinks of observed emissions?

GRASP-Earth provides tailored training workshops to help organizations effectively use satellite remote sensing data. Our workshops are designed to address your specific needs, whether you’re new to the field or seeking advanced techniques.
They include pre-workshop web-based content for intermediate and advanced sessions, featuring 1–3 hours of online instruction prior to in-person training. Additionally, we offer post-workshop web-based content, including case study problem sets that participants submit and review online. These case studies, which can be selected by instructors or users, are highly recommended for honing and retaining skills, providing valuable practice and reinforcement of the material covered.
We offer flexible options to cover essential concepts, delve into more complex data analysis, or master sophisticated tools and methods. Each program is customized to align with your goals, ensuring relevant and practical training. By choosing our workshops, your team will gain the skills and knowledge needed to leverage atmospheric data efficiently and address critical challenges.
