The EO4SD-Urban project is restarting its webinar series on satellite-derived geospatial information for urban development. The webinars are part of the capacity building offered to our project partners (development bank staff, technical staff from participating cities, etc.). The free webinars introduce the latest methodologies and examples of satellite Earth Observation (EO) data supporting urban development. …
If you look up the meaning of ɸ there is a long explanation, but at the end it says ‘ɸ is also used as a symbol for the golden ratio and on other occasions for maths and science’ and I would now add, ‘and in space’ – space for the future.
With over 700 participants from space investors and entrepreneurs to scientists, the Φ-week is exploring new opportunities and seeding ideas. Overall it’s aiming to exploit the ‘perfect storm’ created by the wealth of data now available from traditional satellite missions and small satellite constellations coupled with technological advances, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, virtual reality …
Two more weeks to go until the end of Phase 1 – Identify a Climate Problem (4 October 2018 – 15 November) out of the three phases foreseen within the Climate Detectives school project. Following steps will be Phase 2 – Investigate the climate problem ( 10 January 2019 – 15 April 2019) and Phase 3 – Make a …

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.
A full week is just over of training on the theory and applications of land remote sensing, ranging from the theoretical fundamentals and advanced concepts of spaceborne optical, thermal and microwave remote sensing to hands on use of software tools for a variety of applications including urban mapping, change detection, fire detection, forestry, vegetation monitoring, …
The European Space Agency and the World Bank are jointly organising a 2-day knowledge sharing and capacity enhancement event on satellite Earth Observation applications in agriculture and rural development. The meeting will take place on 27 and 28 September 2018 at the World Bank premises in Washington D.C. The 2-day event explores the utility and …
