In the framework of the Earth Observation Applications projects, the Coastal Blue Carbon project aims at developing innovative high-quality EO-based information products, indicators and methods, targeting specific high-priority matters raised by the international environment policy agenda and with a distinct connection to the European Union (EU) Green Deal. The project aims at developing new methods …
The 2nd ESA Carbon Science Cluster: Terrestrial Carbon Constellation – Research Opportunities is intended to support innovative scientific developments in the carbon research domain with special focus on the terrestrial carbon component as a direct response to the 1st Carbon Science Coordination meeting (June 2021), the 4th Carbon from Space meeting (Oct 2022) and as …
INTRODUCTION The LPF aims at supporting the new generation of scientists in ESA Member States to undertake cutting-edge research in Earth Observation and Earth System Science, maximise the scientific impact of ESA missions and European EO capacity and respond to the main challenges of the ESA science strategy. This call is motivated by the urgent …
Irrigation has a wide impact on our planet, with over 70% of freshwater globally used for crop cultivation. While essential for food production, irrigation has impact at local level: it can deplete water reserves, leading to local subsidence, saltwater intrusion, and potential biodiversity alterations. Recently, an international team of scientists, supported by ESA’s Science for …

The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to build a collaborative Open Science environment called the Open Science Persistent Demonstrator (OSPD). The OSPD aims to test and demonstrate interoperability among Earth Science technologies and infrastructures, fostering collaborative research and reusability of existing components to enhance Earth Science communication and research …
Satellite observations have played a crucial role in capturing and understanding the phenomenon of Arctic amplification, characterized by amplified and accelerated regional warming in the Arctic. A recently published paper, outcome of the Arktalas Hoavva project, synthesized the significant contributions of satellite observations, shedding light on the nature and characteristics of this phenomenon, and capturing key …
Snow cover is an important component of the Earth’s cryosphere and plays a significant role in regulating the Earth’s climate and hydrological cycle. Accurate estimates of snow cover are essential for a range of applications, from climate modelling to water resource management. In a recently published study, researchers develop an adaptive method for estimating snow-covered …
ESA, NASA, and JAXA joined forces at FOSS4G 2023, the largest global gathering for Free and Open-Source Software for Geospatial, to organize a successful hands-on workshop on “Open Science with NASA-ESA-JAXA EO Dashboard”. The workshop highlighted their collaborative effort, the EO Dashboard, an open-access resource illustrating global changes in the environment, economy, and agriculture using …
