Build Your Capacity: GIS & Remote Sensing Certificate Course for Climate and Ocean Applications

Bangladesh is one of the most climate-vulnerable countries in the world due to its low-lying deltaic geography, high population density, and strong dependence on natural resources. As the country is increasingly exposed to climate-induced hazards such as sea level rise, cyclones, storm surges, coastal erosion, salinity intrusion, flooding, and temperature extremes, the need for data-driven monitoring has never been greater.

To address this, the National Oceanographic and Maritime Institute (NOAMI) is proud to announce our upcoming Certificate Training Course on GIS and Remote Sensing for Climate Change, Earth and Ocean Applications. This comprehensive program is designed to build technical capacity among students, researchers, and professionals to effectively access, analyze, and apply geospatial and Earth observation data.

Why Enroll in This Course?

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing have become essential tools for understanding Earth system processes, detecting environmental changes, and supporting climate and ocean research. These challenges are particularly acute in coastal and marine environments, where the interaction between ocean dynamics and climate change significantly affects ecosystems, livelihoods, food security, and infrastructure.
