Goal of this course is to learn how to use Earth observation to improve the understanding and the modelling of climate and environmental processes, including:

• Knowledge of Earth and climate systems (drivers, water and energy fluxes, feedbacks etc.)
• Water cycle: processes, Earth observation systems, variability, computing and interpreting trends
• Carbon cycle: processes, vegetation properties observable from space, Measurements systems, variability, trends
• Knowledge of climate modelling
• How to use Earth observation for model improvement: evaluation, assimilation, calibration of models
• Software tools: e.g. Python, Google Earth Engine, ESA Toolboxes
