ICMAM TRAINING

TRAINING ACTIVITIES IN ICMAM-PD

OBJECTIVE To enhance applications of new scientific tools and techniques in various disciplines of Coastal Zone Management and Ocean Sciences and Technology.
ICMAM TRAINING FACILITY View of ICMAM Training Centre The ICMAM Training Centre and the first two weeks training programme on "Application of GIS in the management of Coastal Critical Habitats " was inaugurated on 13^th August, 2001 by Dr.HARSH K GUPTA, Secretary, Department of Ocean Development, Govt. of India. The Training Centre is equipped with hi-tech multimedia audio-visual system for exclusive student-teacher interaction, computer conferencing among select group of students, projection of output from each student's computer through twin LCD projectors etc. The other facilities available are digitizers, plotters etc. About 25 trainees can be accommodated in a session. The training hall comprises of a multimedia classroom, which is first of its kind in South Asia. About 25 high-end workstation PCs adorn the hall and each student will be provided with an individual machine for the entire course. Two high-resolution LCD projectors are also available so that two different outputs can be projected at the same time enabling presentation of different aspects of the same case.
DETAILS OF TRAINING PROGRAMMES The following training programmes are conducted at regular intervals at the ICMAM training Centre.

Our strength Apart from in-house experts , faculty are drawn from the following premier institutions to give lectures in the training programmes. Space Applications Centre, Ahmedabad National Remote Sensing Agency, Hhyderabad Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai. Institute for Ocean Management, Anna University, Chennai Institute of Remote Sensing, Anna University, Chennai Centre for Environmental Studies, Anna University, Chennai Madras University, Chennai CESS, Trivandrum Practical Sessions Apart from lecture sessions, equal importance will be given to practical sessions where hands on exercises will be given on Geographical Information Systems Image processing of digital satellite data Sediment transport in the nearshore waters Analysis of Shoreline Changes Processing of satellite data for oceanographic applications Oil spill modelling

Case Studies Three days are allotted for individual project work during the two weeks course on "Applications of GIS in the management of Coastal Critical Habitat". Trainees can use the data available with us or could bring their own data for their project work so as their convenience.
Details of trainings conducted till date IFS officals who attended the training programme on "Integrated Coastal Zone Management" Till date we have conducted about 14 training programmes and have trained 191 participants from various coastal states. The trainees include officials from the various Departments of the Central and State Government , Lecturers, Research Scholars and Students.
Accommodation Facilities A well furnished guest house with canteen facility is available in the campus itself. Accomdations is avilable on twin-sharing basis at the cost of Rs.230/person/day. For students accommodation is available in the "Students Amenities Centre" at the cost of Rs.100/person/day.
