Earth Observation Data Visualisation Workshop

What is the EO Data Visualisation Workshop Series about?

Imagery is a powerful way to convey an impactful message. With the increased availability of satellite data and petabytes of Copernicus Sentinel open data, data visualisation and data journalism have significantly developed in recent years. Earth observation has emerged as a new, easily available way to illustrate environmental and climate change-related challenges and communicate complex information to a broad audience. 

With a wealth of satellite data and geospatial products available on a full, free and open basis, the European Union, with Copernicus, is providing journalists and all those interested in data visualisation with a vast amount of raw material as well as processed information and model outputs. 

Also, the tools to access and process this data for storytelling are increasingly easy to use and have made considerable progress in recent years. 

With this in mind, EUMETSAT, Europe’s operational satellite agency for monitoring weather, climate and the environment, is hosting a series of short online workshops over a six-week period on Earth observation and Copernicus data visualisation. 

The series of workshops are designed to meet the needs of attendees with diverse backgrounds, ranging from beginners to experts. It includes high-level testimonials, case studies, and practical examples.

By attending, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to use data visualisation to illustrate societal and environmental challenges and communicate complex information to a broad audience. 

Why Attend?
