On behalf of the Pacific GIS and Remote Sensing Council (PGRSC), we welcome you to Week 3 of our posts to promote free GIS and remote sensing resources (webinars, instructional videos, technical manuals, e-books, etc.) to increase capacity, awareness, and skill development for the Pacific Islands geospatial community. Last week, we introduced you to NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) fundamentals of remote sensing online training program. This week we introduce you to the Copernicus Earth Observation satellites and the Copernicus Browser where you can search, view, and download earth observation data and imagery from the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Copernicus Programme.
Week 3: Are you interested in what earth observation products are available from ESA and how to view, access, and download the datasets? The Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem and Browser serve as the main data distribution platform for the EU Copernicus satellites / Sentinel missions. The Sentinel Data for Dummies video provides an overview of the they types of satellite data available from ESA Copernicus and the A Short Guide to Copernicus Browser video guides you through the web application that let’s you view, access, and download the variety of products:

We hope that these materials are beneficial to you. Please let us know if you have a free GIS or remote sensing resource that you would like to promote as well so others can learn from them.
