Introduction to the Training Course

In partnership with Introduction to the Use of Geospatial Information Technology for Drought Risk Management

Phnom Penh, Cambodia14-17 November, 2017

Learning Objectives

The aim of the course is to provide participants with GIS and Remote Sensing (RS) methodologies (risk assessment and satellite based mapping) related drought management in Cambodia

At the end of the course students should be able to:

• Define basic concepts and terminologies related to geospatial technology; • Apply basic methods and functionalities for GIS and Remote Sensing

analysis and mapping; • Identify, access, search, collect, organize and analyse geospatial data from

web and field relevant to drought risk monitoring/management; • Apply relevant GIS methodologies and tools for drought risk

monitoring/management • Explain the advantages and limitations of using geospatial information

technology for drought risk management.

UNOSAT Humanitarian Rapid Mapping Service

UNOSAT’s Humanitarian Rapid Mapping Service

• UNOSAT provides Satellite Imagery Analysis during Humanitarian Emergencies – Natural Disasters and Conflict-Situations (Maps, GIS-ready data, statistics and reports)

• As of today approximately 25% of humanitarian activations benefit from data delivered through the International Space Charter (Only for Major Natural Disasters). For the rest of activations UNOSAT relies on in-kind contributions as well as from imagery funds from donors and UN sister agencies.

Maps produced Covering Asia and Africa(2003-2014)

Satellite Derived Analysis

• Wide range of satellite imagery from commercial and scientific sensors (no military data)

• Imagery from very high resolution (32 cm), to low resolution (1km)

• Optical and Radar data

• Relevant GIS data from UN, partners, commercial, public sources and crowdsourcing

• Since 2003: 2500+ maps produced
