This package provides a comprehensive and unique set of radar remote sensing training materials. It is suitable for use at the undergraduate and graduate levels. To reach a wide audience, the material is available in English/French and Spanish/Portuguese (the latter on CD only). This package was produced as part of the Canadian GlobeSAR-2 Program to support the development of radar training capabilities in universities and agencies in South and Central America. It incorporates training slides developed by scientists at the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing for the GlobeSAR and ProRADAR programs, with significant contributions from radar specialists of different disciplines, and by scientists and user agencies in many countries.

It is expected that the user will combine the materials on the CD with other materials and exercises, adapting them to meet the overall learning objectives of his/her audience. Two examples of course curricula are included in the package - one designed for engineers and one designed for geoscientists. The slides are packaged as four main sections: basic, intermediate, advanced, and applications. Each section includes theory and image examples, with associated explanations.
