2. Capacity Building resources
SAREDU: SAREDU.dlr.de, will not be updated, all content moved to EO-College,
EO-College: EO-College.org, sustainable concept in cooperation with other agencies envisaged, several MOOCS by different parties in planning
SARbian, a compilation of freely available software for SAR Remote Sensing.
EnMap Portal: enmap.org, provides the free Enmap Toolbox, CB Material will be consolidated by the HyperEDU initative and distributed via EO-College Platform from 2020 onwards
FIS: Remote Sensing in Schools Portal: fis.uni-bonn.de Comprehensive learning portal on EO incl. research and analyses tools, useful for Entrance Level CB trainings too.

3. Selected Project based Capacity Building activities of DLR’ s EOC
Mid & South America:
Paraguay SULU Project
Use EO for climate smart Land use planning
Involves local, national international stakeholders
Costa Rica, Moneo Project
Remote Sensing of aquatic ecosystem
Local partners should be able to monitor water qualityTerraba Sierpe Wetland National Park
Africa:
Objectives of the BMBF funded project is to co-develop an automated observation system for land degradation ( )
Several local Training as well scientific exchanges are planned
Training April.2018

4. DLR’s engagement hand-in-hand with UN-SPIDER
UN-SPIDER’s office in Bonn/Germany strives for “ensuring that all countries […] have access to and develop the capacity to use all types of space-based information to support the full disaster management cycle“
DLR with funds of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy supports UN-SPIDER’s Bonn Office as well as the Center for Remote Sensing of Land Surfaces (ZFL) at the University of Bonn
new 5-year plan opened a new chapter for the UN-SPIDER Bonn Office
Intended project for ~2020/21: promoting the use of Sentinel satellite data and Copernicus information products in the field of disaster risk reduction and management in Africa (carried out by DLR and ZFL with EC funding to support technical advisory support provided by UN-SPIDER)

5. Global TerraSAR /TanDEM-X data sets
TanDEM-X 90 m Global DEM to be released for science use at Oktober TanDEM-X Global Change map in production
TanDEM-X 50 Global Forest map to be released for science use in 2019
TanDEM-X Global Footprint The sucessor the „World Settlement Footprint“ will have several layers: Urban mask, sealing, change, 3D

6. Global parameters & data of the Earth Observation data center
Global TimeScan- Landsat (4 time steps of temporal indices metrics )
Global Snowpack- (18 years daily snow cover)
Global Net Primary Productivity
Global TimeScan- Sentinel 1 (2015)
Global Urban Footprint (2012)
Sucessor
Global Waterpack (16 years of inland water dynamics)
