AIR Centre - Atlantic International Research Centre

🌍 Exciting Workshop on Earth Observation with Julia coming soon! Join us for an innovative intermediate-level online workshop funded by the Government of Portugal! This collaborative initiative brings together #AIRCentre, UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Laboratório de Métodos Computacionais em Engenharia (LAMCE/COPPE/UFRJ) and South African National Space Agency to advance Earth Observation skills using Julia programming. After successful in-person workshops in Rio de Janeiro (April 2024) and South Africa (August 2024), we're going digital to reach professionals worldwide! ✨ Why attend? The workshop targets professionals in remote sensing and data science, with a special focus on encouraging women's participation. Attendees will learn how to apply the Julia programming language to visualize and process Earth observation data, with an emphasis on sustainable development. Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your Earth Observation skills with cutting-edge tools! Julia is a high-level language developed by MIT in 2012, and offers the ease of dynamic languages like Python, combined with the performance of compiled languages like C or Fortran - perfect for scientific computing and data analysis. It natively supports hardware accelerators such as GPUs, and includes the full web development stack, enabling scientists to easily share their work.

🌊 The Azores makes history by creating the North Atlantic's largest marine protected area network - protecting 287,000 square kilometers (30% of our waters)! Half is fully protected, creating a sanctuary for marine life from deep-sea corals to whales and setting a powerful call to action for the upcoming biodiversity negotiations.   This milestone demonstrates how regions can lead in global conservation while supporting local economies. Congratulations to the Azores for this groundbreaking news that that will transform ocean protection!
