An exciting week, bringing to ESA-ESRIN in Italy hundreds of participants from all over the world to explore innovation, new technologies and cross-disciplinary cooperation, just came to an end. Replay at your pace the ESA video highlights and the live streamed sessions, directly accessible from the agenda: Monday 12 November 09:00–10:30 Opening Session – Space …
GOCE gravity images are revolutionising our ability to study the least understood continent on Earth, Antarctica
The combination of seismological and satellite gravity gradient imaging enhance our knowledge of Earth’s structure, especially in remote areas like the Antarctic continent, where even basic knowledge of lithospheric scale features is incomplete. A research team from Kiel University and the British Antarctic Survey exploited the satellite gravity gradients measured from 2009 to 2013 by …
Royal Research Ship James Clark Ross started its roughly 4000 miles, 40 days voyage across the Atlantic Ocean at the end of September. It has been carrying out in situ measurements with an array of instruments including above-water radiometric optical sensors that measure upwelling radiance from the sea surface for validation of satellite ocean colour, …
Three weeks to go before the start of the Φ-week event to take place at ESRIN, ESA’s Earth Observation centre in Frascati, Italy from 12-16 November 2018. The dense agenda is built around New Space with a special focus on EO. The event brings together emerging space Investors, tech leaders, start-ups and entrepreneurs with the space …
Replay the live-transmitted from the Azores opening session of an event where world-class scientists met to discuss the latest developments in our understanding of Earth’s surface variations observed by altimetry. Radar altimeters record the surface topography along the satellite’s ground track. They precisely measure a satellite’s height above water, land or ice by timing the …
The next Living Planet Symposium (LPS19) will take place in Milan, Italy, on 13–17 May 2019. Abstracts can be now submitted on lps19.esa.int/abstracts until 11 November 2018 (23:59 CEST). Navigate through the session list and descriptions and carefully check out guidelines for submitting an abstract.
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 …
SAR altimetry missions are boosting new developments in fields that exploit the quality of high-resolution products for sea surface topography, wave height, and wind speed. To review recent progress in and discuss future plans for altimetry technology at coasts, 88 scientists from 28 countries met at the 11th Coastal Altimetry Workshop earlier this summer. Read more …
FluxEngine is an open source toolbox for calculating air-sea CO2 gas fluxes from in situ, model and Earth Observation data. We are pleased to announce that version 3 of the FluxEngine toolbox is now available. Version 3 now includes: auto-installers and/or install instructions (e.g. you can use it on a Windows, Linux or Mac laptop) …
