Workshop Summary

The Copernicus WEkEO Service is organizing a two-day workshop to increase user awareness about the cryosphere at global scale and the impacts of climate change. 
The aim of this workshop is to share applications of the Copernicus WEkEO Service products in ecosystem monitoring studies and to focus on the main challenges faced by the Earth . 
The workshop will cover a number of related topics, ranging from icebergs tracking, rise of sea level, ice loss and impacts on the Earth dynamics. 

 A practical session (Day 2) will be dedicated to live demonstrations of the use of the data using: 
  1. Jupyter Notebooks, 
  2.  QGIS software, 
  3.  R Studio.
