The European Space Agency has launched a free online course which will teach students about its pioneering use of earth-orbiting satellites to track climate change. The massive open online course - known as a "MOOC" - is partly aimed at inspiring the next generation of scientists and will run on the FutureLearn website in June, it was announced.
It is the first time the Agency has offered this type of course, and will cover how it is using satellites to monitor the state of the climate and the impact of changes over time.
The course is also designed for current and future policymakers, educators and anyone involved in communicating about climate change, the website said.
Starting on 8th June, the course runs for five (5) weeks.
Week 1 - Observing Climate Change from Space
Weeks 2 & 3 - Earth Observation Techniques & Technology
Week 4 - Earth Observation in Action
Week 5 - Managing Earth Observation Data
