This activity is a direct response to some of the major discussion points gathered during the Colour and Light in the Ocean (CLEO), organized in ESRIN, in 2016. The meeting aimed at reviewing the progress done by the community in the domain of ocean colour and related applications and draw a number of recommendations for …
Within ESA’s Earth Observation Envelope Program the Network of Resources aims to stimulate the uptake of platform services by science and commercial users. Cloud providers hosting Earth Observation Data are invited to offer promotional free resources for research use that ESA will promote to its institutional and industrial research network of projects to test out …
This procurement intends to develop the algorithm and software tools to derive automatic continental high resolution (10 meters) land cover over large continental geographical zones.The classification system/nomenclature proposed shall follow recognized ISO or UN standards (IPCC/LCCS) with a minimum of 10 classes. The system/software tools shall be designed in such a way that they can …
The Open Science Earth Observation (OSEO) call aims to foster scientific and applications uptake of full archives of EO data, by offering third party services which exploit state of the art ICT. ESA is pleased to announce the opening of the new EOX Cloud Free Sentinel-2 map service as a 3rd-party service added to the …
High atmospheric CO2 levels may lead to acidification of the ocean with severe consequences on marine ecosystems. Estimates of CO2 fluxes at the air-sea interface strongly depend on the availability of partial pressure of CO2 at the surface ocean (pCO2), which is a critical parameter for a detailed study of the mechanisms involved in the ocean-atmosphere CO2 …
An exciting week, bringing to ESA-ESRIN in Italy hundreds of participants from all over the world to explore innovation, new technologies and cross-disciplinary cooperation, just came to an end. Replay at your pace the ESA video highlights and the live streamed sessions, directly accessible from the agenda: Monday 12 November 09:00–10:30 Opening Session – Space …
Open data and open data exploitation outcomes for a generation of citizens supporting science (~1.3 million volunteers for up to $2.5 billion in-kind annual contribution)
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.
This project aims at capitalizing on the latest developments in Antarctic science and on the different activities that ESA has funded in the last few years over Antarctica. These projects cover a wide range of topics from lithospheric modeling to surface dynamicsproviding a wide spectrum of new results and novel capabilities that open the door …
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 …
