Replay the live-transmitted from the Azores opening session of an event where world-class scientists met to discuss the latest developments in our understanding of Earth’s surface variations observed by altimetry. Radar altimeters record the surface topography along the satellite’s ground track. They precisely measure a satellite’s height above water, land or ice by timing the …
The next Living Planet Symposium (LPS19) will take place in Milan, Italy, on 13–17 May 2019. Abstracts can be now submitted on lps19.esa.int/abstracts until 11 November 2018 (23:59 CEST). Navigate through the session list and descriptions and carefully check out guidelines for submitting an abstract.
A full week is just over of training on the theory and applications of land remote sensing, ranging from the theoretical fundamentals and advanced concepts of spaceborne optical, thermal and microwave remote sensing to hands on use of software tools for a variety of applications including urban mapping, change detection, fire detection, forestry, vegetation monitoring, …
Over the last decade, rapid developments in digital technologies and in our capability to monitor our home planet from space with Earth Observation (EO) satellites have led to new and huge opportunities for science and businesses. There is an increasing need to mine the large amount of data generated by the new generation of satellites …
The annual global CCI land-cover maps at 300m resolution, spanning a 24-year period, from 1992 to 2015, have been used to develop the new OECD Green Growth headline indicator on land-cover change. More recently, the same CCI land-cover team has also demonstrated the performance of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission to deliver 10 m resolution land-cover …
The European Space Agency and the World Bank are jointly organising a 2-day knowledge sharing and capacity enhancement event on satellite Earth Observation applications in agriculture and rural development. The meeting will take place on 27 and 28 September 2018 at the World Bank premises in Washington D.C. The 2-day event explores the utility and …
SAR altimetry missions are boosting new developments in fields that exploit the quality of high-resolution products for sea surface topography, wave height, and wind speed. To review recent progress in and discuss future plans for altimetry technology at coasts, 88 scientists from 28 countries met at the 11th Coastal Altimetry Workshop earlier this summer. Read more …
FluxEngine is an open source toolbox for calculating air-sea CO2 gas fluxes from in situ, model and Earth Observation data. We are pleased to announce that version 3 of the FluxEngine toolbox is now available. Version 3 now includes: auto-installers and/or install instructions (e.g. you can use it on a Windows, Linux or Mac laptop) …
Feeding a growing global population is a major concern, but efforts to grow more food will place an added burden on precious supplies of freshwater. New research shows how measurements of soil moisture from space could be used to understand how much water is used for agriculture and potentially help farmers manage consumption. A new …
This week 72 early-career scientists and geoscience young professionals gather at the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom, to attend the eighth edition of ESA’s Advanced Training Course on Land Remote Sensing. The event is part of ESA’s efforts to train the next generation of Earth Observation experts and data users in state-of-the-art techniques …
