About SR 2020

Sensing Rivers (SR 2020) is a three-day virtual workshop on satellite remote sensing applications in water resources engineering. SR 2020 will encourage collaboration between participants, and provides extensive opportunities each day for participants to work with each other to build their skills with water data. Participants will also learn about open source technologies to use satellite remote sensing datasets.

When: September 21st – 23rd 2020 (08:00 AM – 11:30 AM US Pacific Time | 05:00 PM - 08:30 PM Local Time in Egypt)
Where: Virtual via Video Conferencing Platform (e.g., Zoom Meetings or Microsoft Teams)

Recommended Perquisite Skills

Background on hydrology and water resources management.
Programming skills (Python, Matlab, or Fortran).
Experience with analysis of water data.
