FIGURE 1. Spring School participants gather at the Teófilo Tabanera Space Center on 20 September 2018.
Those theoretical concepts were complemented by practical classes in the processing, analysis, and classification of
SAR images. Workshops were held to present practical problems and discuss solutions. Software tools, technologies,
and data-repository applications development were discussed. The participants believed that the school provided
important and valuable contributions to their training and
practice, with a remarkable approach to the state of the art in
SAR image processing. The workshops' format and schedule
provided an opportunity for discussion of specific interests
related to the core topics of the school. New problems that
we can approach through SAR technology were articulated.
The participants agreed that they learned new concepts
and updated their analysis and processing tools. Beyond
the in-depth knowledge acquired during conferences and
practices, the value of participating in discussions that occur in an enriching interdisciplinary environment was
highlighted, with the goal of encouraging scientific and
stakeholder collaborations in the region.
The applications submitted showed that SAR is an extremely useful imaging technique for monitoring multiple
processes that occur on Earth. School participants learned
that SAR data are obtained through microwave imaging
and that the information can be analyzed to understand
complex spatiotemporal phenomena on the Earth's surface.
The school helped to make the professional practice of SAR
more concrete and valuable when applied across the diverse
territorial realities of the participants. Everyone agreed that
the operative monitoring of some environmental risks,
such as land deformation velocity, may be a limited or even
an impossible task without this technique. The participants
stressed that they acquired a new vision allowing them to
improve their practices in
◗ education and teaching
◗ research
◗ development and innovation.
Emphasis was placed on the production and dissemination of knowledge through high-impact scientific journals.
An important aspect of the school was the inclusion of pro108
fessionals who specialize in different fields and have complementary skills. Groups were organized through social
networks (Facebook and WhatsApp) to interact and remain
in contact. Creating a group on LinkedIn to consolidate the
interaction was also suggested. Proposals for institutional
cooperation agreements were generated. Cooperation for
the orientation and direction of projects was considered.
To consolidate these agreements and generate regional
solutions from science, we suggest that supportive institutions, such as space agencies, environmental organizations,
and universities and government agencies, should participate-in each country, if possible-in building an institutional and sustainable framework.
Our recommendations include the following:
◗ continue this type of event every two years in the framework of the CELFI program, which provides full financial support for travel expenses to foreign lecturers and
Latin American participants
◗ create a network of participants and institutions to
identify cooperation opportunities, for example, in the
framework of the Ibero-American Programme on
Science and Technology for Development, which offers
financial support for scientific projects
◗ produce webinars and share them using multimedia
platforms
◗ share information for the continuity of the research,
training, and development of the applications generated
in the schools
◗ keep this information updated
◗ increase lab hours and practical activities during upcoming events
◗ organize presentations by specialists as poster sessions
◗ encourage the use of SAOCOM data as well as those provided by participating countries in the practical classes.
We conclude by recognizing the effort of both the organizers and the funding agencies that made the school possible-the CELFI, Gulich Institute, and GRSS Argentine
Chapter-and their fundamental role in promoting these activities in the region. The impact of this school was enormous,
