SMOS and extreme events
Experiments show that SMOS can help improve errors in extreme events forecast lead times by 36–72 hours in the extratropics.
Antarctic lithosphere and Moho depths study
Ice sheet dynamics is strongly related to basal melting and geothermal heat flow, which in turn is influenced by crustal thickness variations. On the other hand, the lithosphere of the Antarctic continent is still poorly known. Different datasets (airborne gravity and magnetic measurements, seismological campaigns) exist but mostly suffer from limited spatial coverage over large …
Living Planet Symposium: special session on DLT/Blockchain
The ESA Living Planet Symposium (LPS) is a largest global Earth Observation event organized by the Agency every 3 years with the objective to communicate the key achievements in EO science and to pave the way forward for the future. In 2019, the LPS has featured, for the first time, a special session on blockchain …

Sentinel Hub crosses 100M requests per month
The Sentinel Hub project started in 2016 as one of the ESA PECS-funded activities with the objective of making Sentinel-2 data accessible in an easier manner. Now, three years later, Sentinel Hub is widely used, and serves not only Sentinel-2 but also data from numerous other EO satellite missions. It is used not just by …
ESA Sentinel-3 World Fires Atlas Prototype
The Sentinel-3 World Fires Atlas Prototype product has been developed by European Space Agency over the southern countries of the ESA member states, using as input the Sentinel-3A and Sentinel-3B SLSTR Level 1b data containing two dedicated channels (F1 and F2) for fire and high temperature events. The ESA Sentinel-3 World Fires Atlas Prototype aims …
