SUMMARY:TRANSCEND Summer School 2026
DESCRIPTION:The 2nd TRANSCEND Summer School will be held in La Paz (Bolivia) on October 12th-18th, 2026.\nThe Summer School of TRANSCEND project is designed in collaboration with the Living Lab of the Titicaca–Desaguadero–Poopó (TDPS) transboundary system. It is jointly organized by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), the University of Manchester (UoM), the IMDEA Water Institute (Spain), IIAREN (Faculty of Agronomy, UMSA, Bolivia), and the Binational Autonomous Authority of the TDPS Water System (ALT). The target audience comprises 34 to 45 professionals from the agricultural and water resource sectors in Bolivia and Peru, including technical staff from national agencies, regional governments, and watershed committees, as well as producers and specialists in agricultural analysis within the Andean region of both countries. \nThe program has the following cumulative modules:  \n\nhydrological and economic modeling applied to agriculture (WEAP, covering allocation scenarios and net benefits for quinoa, potato, barley, maize, and alfalfa);  \n\n\nfundamentals of remote sensing and spectral indices (GEE and QGIS);  \n\n\nland-use and land-cover classification to map crops and distinguish between rain-fed and irrigated agriculture;  \n\n\nestimation of water use and consumption via Earth observation (simplified P–ET balance using CHIRPS, GSMaP, ERA5, and MOD16);  \n\n\nmapping water presence and source quality (optical data, Sentinel-1, and bloom proxies);  \n\n\nagronomic crop water balance alongside irrigation efficiency monitoring and control, featuring a case study on automated drip irrigation for quinoa.  \n\nThe pedagogical approach combines theory, exercises using real TDPS data, and model-handling sessions. The school will be held in Spanish.\nRead the full agenda and Summer School presentation. \n\n\nSummerSchool_TRANSCEND_English.pdf ( https://transcendresearchproject.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/SummerSchool_TRANSCEND_English.docx-1.pdf )Download\n\n\n\nTRANSCEND_Summer_School_2026_Topics.pdf ( https://transcendresearchproject.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/TRANSCEND_Summer_School_2026_Topics_Draft.docx-1.pdf )Download\n\n\n\n\n
