We are thrilled to announce the upcoming Summer School on “Satellite-based Hydrological Data Assimilation”, specifically designed for early career scientists (MSc, PhD, and Postdoctoral researchers). This exciting event will be hosted by the Geodesy Group at Aalborg University, Denmark, from August 26th to 28th, 2025.
Why Attend? Dive into advanced techniques and tackle open challenges in measuring, modeling, and predicting water cycle variability. Learn how to leverage Satellite Gravity (GRACE/GRACE-FO), Satellite Altimetry (Sentinel and SWOT), and Soil Remote Sensing (e.g., SMOS and SMAP) to enhance large-scale hydrological models through Data Assimilation. Participants will gain hands-on experience with ensemble-based sequential Data Assimilation techniques, and merging satellite data with models.
What to Expect?
- Interactive Learning: Engage in practical exercises using Matlab/Octave and Python.
- Hands-on Activities: Explore the data assimilation package (PyGLDA) and the GRACE-FO post-processing package SaGEA through practical exercises.
- Expert Lectures: Learn from world-leading scientists, including Dr. Henrik Madsen (DHI), Professor Peter Bauer-Gottwein (University of Copenhagen), Professor Petra Döll (University of Frankfurt), Professor Jürgen Kusche (University of Bonn), Professor Gabriëlle De Lannoy (KU Leuven), Dr. Anke Fluhrer (German Aerospace Center, DLR), Dr. Guillaume Rmillien (French National Centre for Scientific Research, CNRS), Professor Mohammad Shamsudduha (University College London), and Professor Maike Schumacher (Aalborg University).
