During this training, participants became familiar with GMF and GISAT methods, which assist in identifying and mapping degraded lands, as well as studying the relationship between land degradation and the frequency of mudflow processes.
Training participants visited potentially hazardous areas in the Aravan and Alai districts of the Osh region, where they validated satellite data and collected information about the terrain and characteristics of the area, which was necessary for further analysis of land conditions.
