This ITT is part of the Ocean Science Cluster and contributes to the joint EC-ESA Earth System Science Initiative launched in February 2020 by the European Space Agency and the European Commission (EC) Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD) to jointly advance Earth System Science and its response to the global challenges that society …
The Earth Observation (EO) community commonly depends on specialised software solution such as so called EO toolboxes which provide specialised and often unique functionality to carry out specific analytics or sensor-specific data manipulations. Several of these EO toolboxes have been successful in providing critical functionality and in terms of adoption and uptake in the user …
Broad scope effort, under the umbrella of the EC-ESA joint Earth System Science Initiative (ESSI), to address specific activities in the land-ocean interface, with a specific interest on coastal carbon and dynamics, and also on the deposition of pyrogenic aerosols and their impact on ocean biology. Distinctive focus on high-resolution and multi-modal (EO, modelling, in-situ …
This presents an excellent opportunity for ESA projects and activities to access polar research infrastructures, enhancing data collection for their initiatives. The POLARIN Network, an international network of polar research infrastructures and their services, has officially launched its Transnational Access (TA) Call for 2024. This call invites the global scientific community to submit proposals addressing …
The aims of the EarthCARE+ Innovation project include, to develop a solid scientific understanding of EarthCARE data in the context of different scientific, operational and applications domains beyond the EarthCARE primary mission objectives. To develop and validate novel retrieval methods and prototype products beyond the mission primary products and demonstrate their feasibility on a number …
The research community are actively investigating a wide range of advanced methods and processing methods for both existing and emerging satellite EO data sets. These can support a significant expansion of the EO applications and downstream services portfolio of the European EO service industry. Examples include super-resolution enhancement of optical and IR datasets, optimized methods …
INTRODUCTION The African Research Fellowship (ARF) program, jointly carried by ESA with the African Union Commission, was successfully initiated in 2021 with six African Fellows having completed their research at ESA. The program aims to empower African Researchers (PhD or Master degree with extensive research experience in EO) to engage in Earth Observation (EO) R&D …
The objective of the call is to provide a framework to rapidly respond to new innovative ideas. It is intended to support innovative developments which respond to opportunities linked to the exploitation of ESA, Third Party and other European (including national and private sector) Earth Observation data, and related capabilities and infrastructures. The scope of …
