When it comes to climate change, the land surfaces are where the vast majority of impacts happen. The task of monitoring those across the globe is formidable and must necessarily rely on satellites – at a significant cost: the measurements are only indirect and require comprehensive physical understanding. ESA’s Carbon Cluster projects LCC and TCCAS …
If you’re looking to explore how space-based solutions are transforming our path toward a sustainable, low-carbon future, this year’s Living Planet Symposium in Vienna offers a rich lineup of sessions, agoras and networking opportunities focused on the Green Transition. The sessions will present how space solutions are powering the green transition and supporting climate action. They …
From May 12–16, 2025, the European Space Agency (ESA) participated in the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Global KM-scale Hackathon, a global event that brought together the climate modelling community to accelerate research using climate simulations at unprecedented kilometre-scale resolution (horizontal resolution < 10 km). Hosted simultaneously across ten international nodes spanning nine time zones …
This June, at the Living Planet Symposium 2025 (LPS25) in Vienna, ESA’s EarthCODE initiative will showcase how we are turning ESA’s strategic commitment to Open Science into action. EarthCODE (Earth Science Collaborative Open Development Environment) is designed to enable researchers to publish, discover, and reuse Earth Observation (EO) datasets, code, and analytical workflows in accordance …
In the heart of the Swiss Alps, scientists are pioneering new methods to monitor glacier health with unprecedented precision. By harnessing satellite data and advanced modelling techniques, they’re gaining insights into the subtle changes in glacier mass balance, crucial for understanding water resources and the impacts of climate change. Glaciers are sensitive indicators of climate …
The Sentinel Users Preparation (SUP) is an initiative within the FutureEO programme of the ESA Earth Observation Programmes (EOP) Directorate. Overall, the SUP initiative will invest in a dedicated set of connected developments to ensure that European entities are optimally placed to exploit the opportunities due to the future Copernicus Sentinel Expansion and Next Generation …
The One Ocean Expedition (2025–2026) has embarked on a global voyage aboard the Norwegian tall ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl, aiming to raise awareness about the ocean’s pivotal role in a sustainable future at global level. As part of this journey, the European Space Agency (ESA) organises the Advanced Ocean Synergy Training Course 2025 (#OTC25), blending satellite …
The EGU General Assembly 2025 program placed a strong emphasis on Open Science across its scientific sessions, short courses, townhalls, and networking events. Key activities centered on four core themes: FAIR and open data, FAIR workflows, interoperability & reproducibility, and open-source initiatives. These themes resonated across disciplines and engaged key stakeholders. Prominent among these were …
