Workshop organized and led by Dr Taylor Smith (University of Potsdam, Germany), Dr Bodo Bookhagen (University of Potsdam, Germany) and Dr Shakil Regmi (South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences, Finland)

Workshop Goals: The workshop aimed to present open-source data processing methods for working with time series and satellite data, with a particular focus on snow, water, and rainfall. The participants gained hands-on experience with open-source data processing tools, data visualization, and the design of open-source hardware.

All workshop materials can be found on github.

YouTube recordings are available here.

Detailed Workshop Schedule:

Day 1: Satellite Data Processing with Open-Source Tools

  • overview of satellite climate Data with focus on hydrologic and sediment flux data
  • introduction to Google Earth Engine and extracting relevant data for study sites
  • integrating watershed data and mapping climate trends
  • creating visualizations and consistent reports

Day 2: Designing, Building, and Analyzing Data from Open-Source Sensors

  • measuring high-fequency hydro-climatic data
  • designing and building a low-cost river monitoring station
