Dear All, List members may be interested in the first MOOC from the European Space Agency which has opened for enrolment on the FutureLearn platform. The subject of the MOOC is 'Monitoring Climate from Space<https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/climate-from-space>', and the course will commence on 8th June 2015. Thousands of learners have already signed up for the course, and we would be delighted if you would also like to participate, or encourage others to do so. ? This course, designed and produced by Imperative Space, consists of 30 videos, interactive exercises, online discussions, links to additional resources and optional in-depth reading. It focuses on the role of satellite Earth Observation (EO) technology in monitoring changes in the Earth's climate and environment, and how satellite data can support climate-related decision making, policy and communication, in areas such as climate-change mitigation, adaptation and sustainable development. The course features on-screen contributions from leading experts in EO data and climate science, and a wide range of visually compelling EO data and imagery. The course is free and will run over 5 weeks, with around 2-3 hours of learning time each week. The enrolment page, with further information and a trailer video, can be found here<https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/climate-from-space>.
