This September the SIOS Knowledge Centre will be offering a workshop on how to access and process Copernicus satellite data, equipping researchers with the basic skills they need to understand and use multi-spectral satellite data for monitoring snow and ice on Svalbard.

With the new year also our new logistics officer arrived and finally completed the SIOS Knowledge Centre team. Inger Jennings - half Norwegian, half English - finished school in Oslo before moving to the UK to study. She holds a bachelor in Environmental Science and a master in Marine Environmental Protection.

ENVRIplus* offers opportunities for free-of-charge transnational access (TNA) for selected research groups and companies to a number of multi-disciplinary test platforms wishing to conduct research or test instruments for cross-disciplinary topics within the environmental domains: atmosphere, biosphere, marine, and solid earth.
