We are pleased to announce the opening of a new Invitation to Tender: the procurement will contribute to the new ESA Black Sea and Danube Regional Initiative, with the ultimate goal of a coordinated approach to advance Earth Observation based science, applications and data exploitation infrastructures serving the specific needs of the Black Sea and …
Follow the links and find out about the importance of studying the whole water cycle and how this has been tackled in the Mediterranean within a recently published paper presented at the Living Planet Symposium.
We are realising the new global model of Earth’s lithosphere and upper mantle by combining gravity anomalies, geoid height and gravity gradients complemented with seismic, thermal and rock information
By working together, ESA and the EC will be able to shape better how we contribute to the challenges of achieving a sustainable Europe by 2030 and goals set in the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate
Experiments show that SMOS can help improve errors in extreme events forecast lead times by 36–72 hours in the extratropics.
Ice sheet dynamics is strongly related to basal melting and geothermal heat flow, which in turn is influenced by crustal thickness variations. On the other hand, the lithosphere of the Antarctic continent is still poorly known. Different datasets (airborne gravity and magnetic measurements, seismological campaigns) exist but mostly suffer from limited spatial coverage over large …
Marking the start of a full week rich of scientific sessions, agoras, exhibits and events, with over 4000 participants from 80 different countries, the Living Planet Symposium opening session featured the following agenda: 09:00 Opening 09:05 Welcome by Italian Officials 09:20 Welcome by ESA Director General, Johann-Dietrich Wörner 09:30 Italy and Earth observation, Italian Space …
This procurement is dedicated to developing a regional high-volume data access, processing and information dissemination platform to establish regional information services for the Baltic Region. The objective is to enhance and integrate existing regional monitoring and assessment frameworks in cooperation with national and regional authorities such as Helsinki Commission. The underlying IT infrastructure is envisaged …
Since 2011, sargassum rafts of unprecedented size have had been found on Caribbean shores, with a strong impact on tourism, fisheries and wildlife. As sargassum decomposes on beaches, it releases disagreeable odours. Removal is time-consuming and expensive as mats can be several meters thick. Tourists are bothered by sargassum, and incoming rafts smother sea grasses …
The Science and Applications with Sentinel-2 special issue of Remote Sensing of Environment has been completed with the last paper published on 5 April 2019. It features a selection of 28 key papers covering a wide range of new applications monitoring natural and human-induced dynamic processes up to national and even continental scale at high-resolution. …
