Learn how to search, explore and navigate satellite imagery to explain geographic patterns and processes. Watch our webinar which was held live on May 23, 2024 to learn how to support students to develop an understanding of spatial and time scales, to identify similar processes happening at different locations and scales, to share individual views, placemarks and configurations, and how to create highly compelling visualisations for export and download.

0:00 Introduction and recommendation to interactively follow the webinar
0:45 The Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem https://dataspace.copernicus.eu/
(Registration page: https://identity.dataspace.copernicus...)
1:23 Why use satellite imagery to teach geography?
2:06 The Copernicus Browser https://browser.dataspace.copernicus.eu/
4:34 Understanding spatial and time scales in the Browser:
A school neighbourhood: https://link.dataspace.copernicus.eu/...
Major construction site: https://link.dataspace.copernicus.eu/...
Carpathian mountain range: https://link.dataspace.copernicus.eu/...
Hunga Tonga volcano (https://link.dataspace.copernicus.eu/...)
9:00 Understanding processes in comparison mode Find the same process in a very natural environment and in the place where you want to introduce it:
Meandering rivers in Alaska: https://link.dataspace.copernicus.eu/...
Meandering river in Hungary: https://link.dataspace.copernicus.eu/...
Von Kármán vortices in water: Alaska https://link.dataspace.copernicus.eu/...
Von Kármán vortices in air:Gaudalupe Island: https://link.dataspace.copernicus.eu/...
11:24 How to share different locations displayed in Copernicus Browser with others?
12:29 Themes and Highlights tool
13:08 Highly compelling visualisations Custom Script Repository: https://customscripts.sentinelhub.com/
13:40 How to create your own configuration?
14:08 How to adjust the visualised imagery?
Adjust gain and gamma (gain: dark/bright; gamma: low/high contrast): https://link.dataspace.copernicus.eu/...
Find time when low light angle highlights topography, use tonemapped natural colour script https://link.dataspace.copernicus.eu/...
Use terrain models https://link.dataspace.copernicus.eu/... and 3D views: https://link.dataspace.copernicus.eu/...
Include something people can relate to in terms of size

Questions and Answers
16:33 Is there a knowledge base available, such as Wiki, allowing us to figure out which Sentinel data to use according you our needs?
17:46 How to download Sentinel data using Python in the CDSE platform?
19:16 Is there a workspace like on GEE to process the Sentinel imagery using coding languages like Python or JavaScript?
20:15 Is it possible to get global elevation data for all the years using Copernicus?
21:13 Are you providing certificates after the training? More information: https://eocollege.org/courses/cubes...
22:17 Are there any datasets in Sentinel that can track and monitor mining operations specifically in Africa?
23:52 Does the Data Space Notebook have different processes for downscaling or resampling the resolution, for example using the Red Edge at 20m with NIR at 10m and which method would you recommend when combining bands with different resolutions?
24:46 What dataset should I use to map minerals in various places with Sentinel and which Sentinel data should I use?
25:56 Is it possible to analyse ground subsidence with the Sentinel1 data?
26:43 I want to map vegetation health from 2017 till now and show how the vegetation has changed. Which index to use when the vegetation is not green?
