The Geohazards Exploitation Platform (GEP) is the outcome of an ESA initiative to implement Thematic Exploitation Platforms, i.e. advanced on-line processing environments dedicated to user communities in specific thematic areas. The GEP is looking at geological and hydrogeological hazards with a focus on terrain motion mapping. In the context of its current evolution, the GEP …
Methane emissions from fossil fuel production are a major component of the anthropogenic methane emission budget. Emissions from this sector often occur as strong plumes from so-called point sources, which include infrastructure elements such as flares, compressor stations, storage tanks, or mine vents. Satellite remote sensing represents a key technology for systematic monitoring of methane …
The recent EO for agriculture under pressure event, which took place at ESA-ESRIN last week, brought together a notable number of participants, with 300 attendees in person from 43 different countries and more than 500 joining online connecting a diverse audience from various locations. The workshop explored the role of Earth Observation in addressing the …
ESA’s World Fire Atlas, an essential tool in wildfire monitoring, keeps detecting and mapping active fires globally since 2019 thanks to the SLSTR sensor aboard Sentinel-3. The tool already counted 258 fires in Canada in 2024 up to 13 May. At the same time, the extent of air pollution caused by these wildfires are highlighted …
The ESA Agriculture Science Cluster was recently launched to promote networking, collaborative research, and international collaboration in the domain of Earth Observation and Agriculture. It involves several ESA-funded projects and activities bringing together different expertise, data, and resources in a synergistic manner to ensure that the result may be larger than the sum of its …
An internal research fellow opportunity is currently open for applicants who have recently completed, or are close to completing a PhD in physics, engineering or Earth system science with research experience and peer-reviewed publications in relevant topics for the fields of research proposed. During the two-years period you will be involved in scientific activities within …
On the occasion of the World Health Assembly in Geneva, ESA organised together with the Geneva digital health hub (gdhub), and various partners (UN agencies OOSA and WHO; Space and Global Health Network; Group on Earth Observations; Open Geneva; Space Generation Advisory Council; University of Geneva), a side event which focuses on Space and Global …
Soil sealing, caused by urban development, poses serious environmental threats, from flooding to biodiversity loss, to exacerbated urban heat island effects. Soil sealing maps – at 10m resolution – along the entire Mediterranean coastline, spanning the period 2018-2022, have been generated from Sentinel-2 data within the Ulysses project, a Mediterranean Regional Initiative Land activity. In …
Following the winter season introducing EO cloud platforms and services, the Network of Resources webinar series is back with new sessions to give you the opportunity to deepen your understanding of EO cloud services or discover new ones. Join us as we explore how EO cloud services can support you to effectively work with EO …
EarthCODE (Earth Science Collaborative Open Development Environment) is an environment with the objective to enable adoption of FAIR Open Science Principles throughout ESA-funded Earth System Science activities, to deliver long-term persistence of data, code and documentation, aiding reproducibility, reuse and consumption of research outputs by a wider community. Get selected as a supplier EarthCODE is being …
