Description - a brief synopsis, abstract or summary of what the learning resource is about: 

Course Content: This course will offer an introduction to the eartH2Observe Water Cycle Integrator (WCI) Data Portal available at https://wci.earth2observe.eu/

Course Objectives: Training the users on how to navigate through the E2O WCI portal: navigate around the map, select indicators by searching, perform some analysis on the selected indicators, download data, and other WCI functionalities.

Why is this topic interesting? With this training we can increase the use of the WCI, build capacity, and furthermore the dissemination of all the available data and tools. Upon completion of this training the users will have increased capacity in efficiently using the portal and its functionalities.

The course includes 3 lessons:
Lesson 1:  GISportal - An Introduction
Lesson 2:  GISportal - External Data and Collaboration
Lesosn 3:  GISportal - Docker Version

The Earth2Observe (E2O) Water Cycle Integrator (WCI) portal takes data that you select and plots it on a map to help you analyse, export and share it.

The WCI portal is an open source project built by Plymouth Marine Laboratory's Remote Sensing Group. The portal builds on the development of several other EU funded projects, past and present, that PML have involvement in. You can find the code on GitHub at https://github.com/earth2observe-pml/GISportal
