Advanced Training Course on Virtual Forest 3D Radiative Simulation and Hyperspectral Applications in Forestry
National Center for Remote Sensing and Geo-Informatics (NCRG), Karachi, Pakistan · Education, Training & Awareness Division
Pre-requisites
Advanced knowledge of Remote Sensing & Computer.
Objectives
This advanced training programme represents a significant step forward in building capacity for modern forest monitoring and assessment. Designed specifically for GIS analysts, remote sensing professionals, and researchers working in forestry applications, the course integrates multiple cutting-edge technologies and methodologies into a cohesive learning experience.
The programme will progress systematically from foundational concepts to advanced applications, ensuring participants to build a solid understanding of each technology before moving to more complex integration tasks. By combining theoretical knowledge with practical exercises, participants will implement these techniques in their own research and operational forestry projects. Throughout the training, emphasis will be placed on real-world applications and operational workflows that can be immediately applied to forest monitoring, carbon stock assessment, and sustainable forest management initiatives.
