Application open for Remote Sensing Training at Kathmandu Forestry College

From February 20, 2019
Until March 03, 2019
Closed

Kathmandu Forestry College(KAFCOL) has been offering MSc in Geographical Information Science and Systems (UNIGIS MSc) since 2012, in cooperation with the Department of Geoinformatics – Z_GIS, University of Salzburg, Austria (Europe). 

Remote Sensing has proved to be a useful tool in analyzing the earth systems, phenomenon and characteristics of the objects of the earth. 

The technical advances over the past few years and data availability have contributed to development of remote sensing industry in a wide range of new sectors. In present context, remote sensing (RS) is being used in numerous fields including forestry, geography, land surveying, hydrology, ecology, meteorology, oceanography, engineering and many more. Moreover, it has military, intelligence, commercial, economic, planning, and humanitarian applications as well. 

Alongside offering UNIGIS M.Sc. course, KAFCOL has been organizing different relevant activities/trainings to promote application of GIS and Remote Sensing in Nepal. One of the similar training is going to be organized at Kathmandu Forestry College in collaboration with Nepal Remote Sensing and Photogrammetric Society (NRSPS) on March 2019.

Application is open for Basic Remote Sensing Training for seven days. Interested participants can apply for the training program by 2nd of March 2019. 

Objectives: 

The main objectives of the training are: 

  1. To introduce the basic concepts of remote sensing, impart knowledge about its different aspects and utilities. 
  2. To provide basic practical skills of remote sensing for its application in the desired field of interest. 
  3. To develop a foundation to facilitate enrollment and successfully complete the UNIGIS MSc course by those undergraduate degree holders who have not yet entered the geospatial field but have interest in it. 
  4. To create awareness the existing of Nepal Remote Sensing and Photogrammetric Society(NRSPS), a professional society for exploring several aspects of Remote Sensing and Photogrammetric domain. 

Expected outcomes 

On the completion of the training course, the participants are expected to: 

  1. Participants will gain basic knowledge and skills in on remote sensing data management. 
  2. Participants will be able to find obtain RS datasets, download them and prepare them to use in remote sensing analysis. 
  3. Participants will be able to design and conduct remote sensing projects in the area of their interest. 
  4. Participants will know the role of NRSPS playing for the development of the country. 

Training Course Date:

3rd March 2019 to 9th March, 2019

Course Fee: 7000/-
