Introduction
Welcome to the training platform under the ESA CopPhil Project!
The National Copernicus Capacity Support Action Programme for the Philippines (CopPhil) is a collaboration between the European Union (EU), the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Government of the Philippines, designed to strengthen the country’s capacity to leverage Copernicus Earth Observation (EO) data and services. By enhancing access to satellite-derived information, CopPhil supports disaster risk management, environmental monitoring, and sustainable development efforts in the Philippines.
This training platform is part of the knowledge and capacity development work package led by Paris Lodron University of Salzburg (PLUS), focusing on Knowledge and Skills Transfer. The training program is designed to equip participants with practical expertise in EO applications across CopPhil’s three thematic pilot services:
- Ground Motion Monitoring
- Land Cover, Forest, and Crop Monitoring
- Benthic Habitat Monitoring
Through a mix of online and on-site courses, this platform serves as a hub for learning, collaboration, and capacity-building, ensuring that EO data can be effectively used for decision-making and policy implementation in the Philippines.

This course serves as an introduction to the CopPhil project, which aims to integrate Copernicus satellite data to enhance national capacities in disaster management and environmental monitoring across the Philippines. It kicks off the comprehensive series of courses designed to demonstrate the practical applications of the developed CopPhil pilot Earth Observation (EO) services in addressing critical national challenges.
- Teacher: Carla Arellano
- Teacher: Casper Fibaek
This session focuses on the application of land cover products developed under CopPhil, with tutorials and case examples related to climate resilience, ecosystem monitoring, and urban change. Participants will explore how to interpret classification outputs and integrate them into real-world use cases.
- Teacher: Etienne Ducasse
- Teacher: Marion Sutton
This practical session introduces participants to satellite-based land cover monitoring using Copernicus data. Participants will learn how to visualize and process EO datasets, create training samples, and run the CopPhil Land Cover service.
