"Learning from the European Space Agency (ESA) has been a fantastic experience so far. We just finished our third day, which focused on optical remote sensing. My favourite day, however, was the SAR day. I am excited to try some of the new techniques I learned in my own research, such as creating coherence and intensity images from multi-temporal SAR images or performing spectral unmixing on optical data. The instructors so far have been knowledgeable and engaging, and I enjoy the different perspectives they bring from ESA, Industry, and academia. I am with a group of 30 graduate students, with varied backgrounds from chemical engineering to archeology. I have already learned a lot from my peers, especially my roommate who also works with SAR and Google Earth Engine. I am the only Canadian here but the group is very welcoming. Our hotel is in the beautiful val-de-poix, and I was welcomed my first night by snowfall."
