ESA actively promotes uptake of state-of-the-art ICT platform resources for EO exploitation by European research activities. This uptake phase is supported by opportunities to access these resources free-at-point-of-use, implemented via vouchers mechanisms. Today two initiatives are in place, one sponsored by ESA, one sponsored by the European Commission allowing research activities to request vouchers that can …
Four out of the best weekly contributions to the Custom Script Contest – focused on the support of space assets during the COVID-19 crisis – were invited to upscale their ideas to the European level. Two of them have now been selected for integration into the RACE (Rapid Action Coronavirus Earth observation) dashboard. The winning …
Congratulations to Henrik Fisser, whose Truck detection – Sensing trade from space has been awarded the first prize for the European Data Cube COVID-19 edition of the custom script contest. The idea exploits reflectance patterns of long moving vehicles, such as trucks, in Sentinel-2 images. While trucks are essentially too small to be recognised as …
Coders, entrepreneurs, scientists, designers, storytellers, makers, builders, artists, and technologists are invited to participate in a virtual hackathon on May 30-31 dedicated to putting open data to work in developing solutions to issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic. NASA, ESA (European Space Agency) and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) are contributing unique capabilities ranging from …
In just a few weeks we have already received some great ideas and see that a large community can contribute significantly with this tool – a BIG THANKS for that !!! The European Space Agency (ESA), in coordination with the European Commission, has decided to offer an additional opportunity for some selected ideas by European …
The coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic has virtually paralyzed daily life as we know it. Even when the spread of this highly infectious disease has been halted, the world will face huge challenges getting back to ‘normal’. European Space Agency (ESA), in coordination with the European Commission, is launching a special edition of Custom Script Contest, focused …
As per the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) of PHIVOLCS 1, cumulative elevation changes of the volcanic edifice based on precise leveling (PL) measurements on March 2019 indicated slightly inflation of the Taal volcano. The observed inflation of the edifice 1 starting on January 2019 was also recorded by continuous GNSS. Read more about it. …
A smarter Big Data process – monitoring geohazards from space is the article published on the DLR Magazine regarding the work conducted on GEP by the DLR Earth Observation Center (EOC) team, and its applications in the Geohazards community. Read more about it.
The P-SBAS Sentinel-1 processing on-demand, a service for ground deformation monitoring, has been developed and integrated by CNR IREA into the Geohazards Exploitation Platform (GEP) and is part of the Services Catalogue of the platform since last June 2019. Read more about it.
The Sentinel-2 MSI Level-1C and Level-2A may provide valuable screening products in the context of the Charter activations, in particular for fire events. Read about the new and advanced processing services currently being prepared to be available on the geohazards TEP. Featured image : Sentinel-2 RGB band combination (12, 8A and 4) highlighting hot …
