Overview
The Advanced Applications of Remote Sensing in Raw Materials course from the EIT RawMaterials Academy is particularly beneficial for professionals with a preliminary background in the raw materials value chain and in Earth Observation. Learn how to effectively use satellite imagery to tackle complex challenges in the raw materials industry. Gain the expertise to excel in this exciting and rapidly evolving domain!
RawMatCop Alliance aims to transform the advanced scientific knowledge integrated with the industrial expertise to support the whole mining life-cycle needs and requirements. This course offers a unique blend of expert lectures from both industrial and research communities, as well as hands-on case studies. Participants will develop skills in efficiently managing large datasets, with a particular emphasis on Copernicus data, and will gain expertise in fusing various datasets to achieve cost-effective and environmentally compliant outcomes.
Learning Outcomes
You will learn how to make the most of Copernicus open data to:
- Apply to real problems in mineral exploration and mining operations
- Generate land surface cover maps to more efficiently secure mineral and material resources
- Monitor environmental impact such as pollution in water and sensitive biological sites to meet regulatory requirements
- Increase safety
- Contribute to a more sustainable supply of mineral resources necessary for the transition to a green and circular economy
Learning how to use Copernicus data can contribute to business growth and better bottomlines, as it will lead to:
- A concrete understanding of gaps and possible business opportunities in this field
- Preliminary analysis before onsite visits on remote or unsafe lands
- Optimised sample collection, and therefore less cost of fieldwork
- Less ground disturbance with more information from difficult or inaccessible locations
- Reducing the area of interest (lower costs, for example, for mineral exploration)
- Faster data access (mapping before field visits) from the areas of interest
- Participants will moreover get to meet other professionals and experts who are transforming the sector.
Programme Structure
Courses included:
- Efficient handling of time-series and large datasets
- Scalable analysis of satellite data for raw materials
- Best practices of data integration'
- Leveraging Copernicus data and open tools
