Summer 2022 in Northern Italy has been extremely dry, as high resolution (1 km) soil moisture maps based on Sentinel-1 show. This is particularly clear when comparing to a “normal” year such as 2020. Read the full story.
The European Space Agency (ESA) invites all civil society organisations (CSOs) / non governmental organisation (NGOs) with an environmental focus to a knowledge-sharing webinar to discuss the potential of Earth Observation (EO) data exploitation for ecosystem conservation and restoration. The webinar is part of an Open Consultation process with CSOs / NGOs. This is an …
A paper published in Nature describes a new approach for removing the pesky problem of dazzle from surface meltwater to yield the first ever continuous, year-round, altimetry measurements of sea-ice thickness in the Arctic Ocean. Artificial intelligence techniques have been applied to CryoSat data in the Arctic to distinguish, during the summer period, the melting …

Actively providing access to …
The overarching goal of this project is to foster a closer collaboration between both the EO water cycle and hydrology community (especially those teams involved in developing novel high resolution EO data products) and the modelling community engaged in advancing “hyper resolution” modelling of the hydrological cycle at large scales (regional/continental). This project shall bring …
With this ITT ESA aims at exploring the full capacity of the latest EO satellite data, and in particular of the unprecedented wide variety of European satellite Earth observations, to better characterise and understand the drivers and complex underlaying processes leading to high impact multi-hazards with a focus on cascade and compound events as well …
