ESA’s Earth System Data Lab (ESDL) has been providing a virtual lab to access a wide array of Earth observations across space, time, and variables. It consists of two elements: a data cube and an interface to execute a variety of analyses on the data cube. The new recently launched follow-on project, called DeepESDL, …
The International Charter ‘Space and Major Disasters’ is an international agreement among space agencies to support the immediate disaster response phase with satellite data and information. This is organized with Charter activations that are triggered by Authorized Users. Since its inception in 2000, it has supported 723 activations in 129 countries worldwide. In support …
Combining satellite measurements from Swarm, as well as from the earlier German Champ mission and Danish Ørsted mission, with a computer model of the geodynamo, a new type of magnetic wave, with a 7 year period, and a westward drift at phase speed of 1500km/year, has been mapped at the Earth’s core-mantle boundary. Such Magneto-Coriolis …
SNAP downloads doubled in the last two years, an amazing achievement for the open-access Earth observation analysis tool. Read the full story.
Will you start your Thursday LPS22 day with a focus on New Space, attending or watching the livestreaming of the New Space and Commercialisation in EO session? Would you like to hear more about these revolutionary changes in the space sector? Don’t miss the Living Planet Talks: The Earth Observation New Space ecosystem session taking …
More live demos for you in the exhibit area at Living Planet Symposium! You’ll find them at the main ESA booth, just in front of its welcome desk, at the EO Science for Society corner. Have a look at the demo calendar below and note down those you don’t want to miss. They complement those …
Currently valued at €300bn, the global space economy could grow to as much as €1trn by 2040. The exponential growth of the commercial dimension touches all space sectors, with a strong push on the EO commercial market. While still largely relying on government funding and investments, commercialisation is progressing rapidly. New companies with high levels …
Get involved in the first ever Open Earth Forum (OEF) at upcoming Living Planet Symposium 2022 ! Why an Open Earth Forum? Ever increasing EO data volumes, more specialised skills and techniques for effective extraction of value added information: this is the context which led to defining the bring the user to the data paradigm …
Within two years, the Irrigation+ project consortium published 16 peer-reviewed scientific papers which leverage advanced Earth observation algorithms and techniques for irrigation mapping, quantification and detection. An overview of main achievements – taking advantage of the exploitation of Copernicus Sentinel data – is provided in a webstory published today. Read the story. Featured …
Observing and understanding aerosol properties is fundamental for the remote sensing community, yet things get more complicated in cloudy environments. Pixels located in the transition zone between pure cloud and pure aerosol are often discarded by both aerosol and cloud algorithms, despite being essential for studying aerosol–cloud interactions, which still represent the largest source of …
