ISNET, SUPARCO to organize online training on Environmental Monitoring, Climate Change
ISLAMABAD, Jul 17 (APP):The Inter-Islamic Network on Space Sciences and Technology (ISNET), in collaboration with the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO), has announced a two-day online training course titled “Environmental Monitoring, Dispersion Modeling and Climate Change” to be held on August 11-12, 2026 via Zoom.
According to ISNET, the training aims to provide a comprehensive overview of environmental monitoring and dispersion modeling techniques, while offering participants practical experience in the acquisition and processing of environmental and climate datasets used in scientific research and decision-making.
The course will focus on modeling inputs including satellite imagery, Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), surface roughness data, meteorological information, and Acute Exposure Guideline Levels (AEGL).
Participants will also receive hands-on training in internationally used air dispersion models, including AERMOD and CHARM, enabling them to understand pollutant dispersion, air quality assessment and climate-related environmental analysis.
The programme will further familiarize participants with various climate and environmental datasets and equip them with tools and techniques for climate data handling and environmental monitoring.
The organizers said the course has been designed at an intermediate-to-advanced level for students, researchers and professionals working in the fields of space sciences, remote sensing, geography, geology, environmental sciences and climate change.
The training will be conducted by Shaikh Abdullah, General Manager, SUPARCO, and Akhtar Ali, Manager, SUPARCO, who will share their expertise in environmental modeling and climate applications using geospatial technologies.
The interested candidates can register through the online application portal by August 6, 2026. The course will be delivered virtually through Zoom, enabling participants from across the OIC member states and other regions to attend remotely.
ISNET, a specialized network working to promote cooperation in space sciences and technology among Islamic countries, is organizing the programme in partnership with SUPARCO as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen capacity building in the application of space technology for environmental monitoring, climate change studies and sustainable development.
