This year's Summer School will introduce innovative methods and tools for the analysis and monitoring of water and land resources in Central Asia. These methods are of great value in a framework of integrated water and land resources management.
The 2-week Summer School will combine theoretical lectures and practical exercises with discussion sessions on the implementation of new methods and tools in managing water and land resources in Central Asia. The programme will include an in-depth introduction to geographical information systems (GIS), an overview on remote sensing applications for land and water resources monitoring, an introduction to hydrometeorological and glaciological measurements and related data processing using R as an environment for statistical analysis (www.r-project.org), and site visits for practical exercises.
The Summer School is organized in the frame of the CAWa project as a contribution to the German Water Initiative for Central Asia (“Berlin Process”) launched by the German Federal Foreign Office in 2008.
Programme details will be published in April 2016 at the CAWa Project website.
