Improve your soil and monitor the changing climate as a citizen scientist.
Did you know satellites are constantly monitoring soil moisture, even in your garden? Monitoring the moisture in soil can help predict floods, fires and droughts.
On this course, you will learn about the ESA's Sentinel-1 Missions, and how citizens can validate satellite data locally with sensors.
You'll discover sensing, and become part of the GROW Citizen Observatory. You will collaborate with other growers and scientists to learn about soil sensors and make sense of the data to improve your growing practice.
Now is the time to make a difference! Join us and become a citizen scientist.
