Coordination of the program is the responsibility of the European Commission and operation of the space component is the responsibility of the European Space Agency (ESA).Activities:● Evaluation of the potential of the images resulting from the various Sentinel missions of the Copernicus programme;● Application of algorithms for the creation of added-value products based on Sentinel satellite images;● Preparation and participation in outreach activities.𝗖𝗢𝗦 - 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗮 𝗱𝗲 𝗢𝗰𝘂𝗽𝗮çã𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗼 (𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟴) 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁The COS is a national product much like CLC, but with higher spatial detail and more classes and sub-classes.Activities:● Detect inter- and intra-annual land cover and use changes to update the official map of Portugal (COS).● Develop and implement methodologies to detect land cover land use changes; Show less

As a result, during this time, I developed my master's thesis "Spatial pattern of snow during melting season in ice free areas of South Shetland Islands (Antarctica)".I was a participant in the Portuguese Antarctic Campaign 2014/2015, where I assisted in tasks such as the preparation of equipment for the measurement of soil temperature at different depths, the surveying of active layer measurements and maintenance of climatic stations and other equipments.After the campaign i had the pleasure of doing lectures, in secondary schools, where i shared the importance of climate change and the role of remote sensing and spatial analysis in this thematic.
