Revealing coastline dynamics of the Danube Delta
Hundreds of satellite images spanning 30 years have been compiled to show the evolution of the Danube Delta – the second largest river delta in Europe. These findings were presented today at ESA’s Living Planet Symposium taking place this week in Bonn, Germany. Read the full story on ESA EO pages.
Living Planet Talks @LPS22
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 …
Live demos in the EO Science for Society area @LPS22
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 …
New Space and Commercialisation in EO @LPS22
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 …
Open Earth Forum @LPS22
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 …
Mapping water use in agriculture
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 …
Looking at aerosol properties in cloudy environments
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 …
Live demos and training schedule during LPS Open Earth Forum
While noting down your personal agenda at the upcoming Living Planet Symposium in Bonn – register by May 9 if you have not done it yet – don’t miss out on the chance to enjoy live demos and classroom training on the latest EO enabling technology: platforms, APIs, datacubes, machine learning, and apps. Look for …
New aerosol and surface properties estimation from Sentinel-5P TROPOMI
A high level of innovation in algorithm development and methodological approach is the key feature of the activities performed during the ESA S5P+Innovation AOD/BRDF project. Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) is the single most comprehensive variable for the remote assessment of the aerosol load in the atmosphere. Atmospheric aerosols, such as aerosols from the burning of …
