In 2024, CIET ran two training programs to support the next generation of students and researchers to develop the skills they will need for the energy transition.
These training courses were a global collaborative effort, bringing together institutions from Australasia, Asia, Africa and North America. Training was coordinated by Dr Bishal Bharadwaj (Energy and Development Theme Leader) at the Curtin Institute of Energy Transition, with support from representatives of each participating university.

Mapping heat stress with Google Earth Engine
Coordinated by Darcy Glenn, Dr Bishal Bharadwaj, Dipendra Bhattarai, Dr Monjit Borthakur and Janice Mwasi
While climate prediction data is readily available, a significant challenge in the Global South lies in effectively harnessing this data and understanding how it can be applied to context-specific planning.

Artificial night-time light data extraction
Coordinated by Dipendra Bhattarai, Dr Bishal Bharadwaj, Darcy Glenn and WiZelle Kritzinger
If artificial night-time lights (ANTL) are considered means for safety and security, then what is the optimum level of brightness to ensure safety and security without compromising the environment?
