Mainstreaming biodiversity and ecosystem services in Eastern Europe and Caucasus - Final workshops

Within the frame of the The project “Mainstreaming biodiversity and ecosystem services in Eastern Europe and Caucasus” funded by the Ministry of Climate and Environment and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Norway, UN Environment and GRID-Geneva participated to two final workshop in Tbilisi (Georgia) and Chisinau (Moldova), respectively 30 October-1 November 2017 and 13-15 November 2017.

Through the project, cutting edge remote sensing technology called Data Cube (http://ceos-cube.org/, https://www.opendatacube.org/, https://software.nasa.gov/featuredsoftware/ceos2) is being provided to national experts for helping a continuous monitoring of ecosystems. This is a transfer of capacities project that could be summarized into three principal aims:
- Transfer of know-how on Data Cube technology in the country
- Provide an operational national one-scene footprint Data Cube (on a nominal Landsat orbital track since 1984)
- Training for Data Cube users

The two demonstration Data Cube created during this project can be accessible at http://geodatacube.unepgrid.ch/ and http://moldatacube.unepgrid.ch/. To use these Data Cubes, credential can be requested to bruno.chatenoux@unepgrid.ch.

All material used during these two workshop are accessible here (hyperlink: https://owncloud.unepgrid.ch/index.php/s/nJR1Ip4WB4Mip7t)
