Parts of Earth’s crust are rising very slowly owing to post-glacial rebound, but using GPS, researchers have found that West Antarctica is rising faster than almost anywhere else in the world. And, ESA’s GOCE gravity mission has, in turn, helped them to understand that the mantle below is unusually fluid. Read the full story.
In a major collaborative effort, scientists from around the world have used information from satellites to reveal that ice melting in Antarctica has not only raised sea levels by 7.6 mm since 1992, but, critically, almost half of this rise has occurred in the last five years. Read the full story.
While ESA’s CryoSat continues to provide clear insight into how much sea ice is being lost and how the Antarctic and Greenlandic ice sheets are changing, the mission has again surpassed its original scope by revealing exactly how mountain glaciers are also succumbing to change. Read the full story.
Access training material from 7th Advanced Training Course on Land Remote Sensing 2017 held in Hungary.
The magnetic field is arguably one of the most mysterious features of our planet. ESA’s Swarm mission is continually yielding more insight into how our protective shield is generated, how it behaves and how it is changing. Adding yet another string to its bow, Swarm is now tracking changes in the magnetic field produced in …
The 4 competing DIAS platforms offer Sentinel data readily available on the cloud, just bring your algorithm and deploy it to process huge volumes of data. Learn more details on http://copernicus.eu/news/copernicus-dias-contracts-signed and follow the Copernicus news for the latest updates The service will be available from mid-2018.
Endless sunshine, eternal summer: the Sentinel-2 cloudless layer combines over 80 trillion pixels collected during differing weather conditions between May 2016 and April 2017, and merges them into a sunny homogeneous mosaic, (almost) free from atmospheric impacts.

The OGC EO Interface Integration Service provides users with OGC web service API access to Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, Sentinel-3, Landsat, MODIS and ENVISAT MERIS EO Data Repository, constantly updated with fresh products from Sentinel and Landsat satellites. Depending on the service type requested, such direct access and related functionality (e.g. cropping, masking, band selection, band math) allows …
Data from Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission can help to gain a better understanding of the Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) dynamics in the Mediterranean Sea, a hotspot for climate change. Unfortunately, this critical area is strongly affected by Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and systematic biases due to the coast contamination (also called Land-Sea …
An online environment has been developed in the last few years for oceanographers to discover the existence of all available and co-located EO and related model/in-situ datasets and to handle them jointly in a convenient, flexible and intuitive way. The current version includes more than 350 datasets and is mostly focused on the Agulhas region. …
