Full details are given in the documents attached.



The online phase is scheduled 23 October - 27 October 2017

The classroom phase in Accra, Ghana, will take place 06 - 10 November 2017



The workshop is dedicated to (early carrier) scientists in Africa: Master / PhD students, Post-Docs, and experienced scientists with an interest in working with satellite based ocean observation data. Participants should have some working experience in SNAP and/or a scripting language such as R (or similar).
