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 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 …
Technology developments that have enabled the emergence of a new kind of participatory medium for open online distance education, including innovative learning material allowing students to engage personally in research. The MOOC-ATM project shall provide an introduction to how Earth Observation (EO) data from satellites is acquired and used to address climate issues, ranging from …
The EO4SD-Urban project is happy to announce a free webinar series on satellite-derived geospatial information for urban development. The webinars are part of the capacity building offered to our project partners (development bank staff, technical staff from participating cities, etc.). The webinars introduce the latest methodologies of obtaining geospatial information from satellite Earth Observation (EO) …
This activity is motivated by potential novel scientific developments and applications that may emerge from the exploitation of theCopernicus Sentinel-5p mission data. This satellite mission is dedicated to the precise monitoring of the Earth’s atmosphere with ahigh-light on tropospheric composition. The overarching objectives of this Sentinel-5p+ Innovation project are 1) To develop a solid scientific …
Among its activities for Earth Observation education and training, the Agency intends to develop and operate its first Massive OpenOnline Course on EO Land Applications, including a series of re-runs. Differently from other previous ESA MOOCs, this shall be a thematic application oriented course, rather than sensor oriented, and it shall address the combination of …
This procurement intends to develop the algorithm and software tools to derive automatic continental high resolution (10 meters) land cover over large continental geographical zones. The classification system/nomenclature proposed shall follow recognized ISO or UN standards (IPCC/LCCS) with a minimum of 10 classes. The system/software tools shall be designed in such a way that they …
