This week 72 early-career scientists and geoscience young professionals gather at the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom, to attend the eighth edition of ESA’s Advanced Training Course on Land Remote Sensing. The event is part of ESA’s efforts to train the next generation of Earth Observation experts and data users in state-of-the-art techniques …
We are pleased to announce that the OceanHeat project team has released a new data set of ocean turbulent heat fluxes estimated from various remotely sensed data. The determination of latent and sensible heat fluxes as well as of the related bulk variables, is based on the use of the European Space Agency (ESA) Ocean Heat …
A position is open to Earth Science, Remote Sensing or Computer Science engineers for GTP-2019-Inland Water Hydrology Altimetry (EOP-SDR). Applications can be submitted by 6th September 2018 for up to 24 months full-time contract starting 1st February 2019 at ESRIN – Frascati (IT). More details available on the German Trainee Programme page.
Every two years, ESA’s Earth observation summer schools draws young scientists from all over the world to learn more about remote sensing, Earth system science, modelling and monitoring, and how data can be used to better understand the world we live in. This year, the two-week summer school is being held on 30 July to …
Thanks to satellites a wealth of information is at our fingertips to understand the different components of our planet and how these components interact to form the Earth system as a whole. However, despite unprecedented progress in analysing and understanding the stream of data we have available, it still remains a challenge to analyse multiple …
Parts of Earth’s crust are rising very slowly owing to post-glacial rebound, but using GPS, researchers have found that West Antarctica is rising faster than almost anywhere else in the world. And, ESA’s GOCE gravity mission has, in turn, helped them to understand that the mantle below is unusually fluid. Read the full story.
In a major collaborative effort, scientists from around the world have used information from satellites to reveal that ice melting in Antarctica has not only raised sea levels by 7.6 mm since 1992, but, critically, almost half of this rise has occurred in the last five years. Read the full story.
While ESA’s CryoSat continues to provide clear insight into how much sea ice is being lost and how the Antarctic and Greenlandic ice sheets are changing, the mission has again surpassed its original scope by revealing exactly how mountain glaciers are also succumbing to change. Read the full story.
