Hackathon Challenge 1 - "Mapping Wetland Vulnerability: Assessing Flood Risk and Vulnerability using Earth Observation Data." @GmesGdzhaoGhana @GMESAfrica

HACKATHON CHALLENGE KICK-OFF! Discovering and solving wetland challenges through data-driven exploration! #Hackathon @GMESAfrica @GmesGdzhaoGhana

CERSGIS team found it helpful to identify areas of wetland management that needed assistance from the Wildlife Division employees at the Keta Lagoon Ramsar Site.  #team #data #management #water #change #training

CERSGIS was able to identify wetland management issues during our recent meeting with the Wildlife Division officials in Owabi. Site managers remarked that the GPS training had been really beneficial since it will allow the field officers to use the equipment more successfully.

In Ghana, wetlands serve as a habitat for wildlife, in the maintenance of the water table, mitigation of flood conditions and water purification. Also known to be of socio-economic importance and have been harvested for construction of poles, etc Join in raising the AWARENESS.✊🏼

GIS, or geographic information system, is the name for a computer system used to analyze geographic data. It can gather, store, handle, process, examine, and present data in two- or three-dimensional maps. Pretty simple! #data #gis #gismapping #gisjobs #nasa #remotesensing

What CERSGIS does: -Introduction to geographic data visualization -Geospatial data collection -Introduction to Python Programming -Working with big data in R -Google earth engine for remote sensing applications -Introduction to GIS for developers #googleearth #GIS #space

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." – Helen Keller Here at the Centre for Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Services [CERSGIS], we delight in the efficient results of teamwork and strive on the standards of overall competence. HAPPY FRIDAY! #teamwork

The Rapid Land Cover Mapper (RLCM)application uses a hybrid vector/raster technique that makes it possible to map Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) at various resolutions and throughout time. This technique is used by CERSGIS for classifying land cover across all 16 regions in Ghana

The Centre for Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Services (CERSGIS) in collaboration with Ghana Land Use Project (GALUP) organized this workshop to locate areas experiencing changes in temperature or precipitation, and map areas experiencing deforestation.

CERSGIS in collaboration with SERVIR organized this workshop to analyze land cover changes in Ghana. A new algorithm for Continuous Change Detection and Classification (CCDC) of land cover using Landsat data was developed. Thanks to @KatelynTarrio @MuskaanKhemani @FosterMensah

Geo week 2022 This has focused on how international collaborations are quickening the use of earth observations to support better local decisions on topics like climate adaptation and food and water security. @CERSGIS_GH was actively engaged with this!

Happy New Month! As always, our signature service is the provision of geospatial solutions for sustainable development. #Cersgis #GIS #remotesensing #geography #july

Maps act as a geographical container for the data layers and analytics you want to work with. GIS maps are easily shared and embedded in apps, allowing them to be accessed by practically anyone, anywhere. At #CERSGIS, we create maps! #gis #remotesensing #maps #cersgis #GeoNews
