Satellite observations have played a crucial role in capturing and understanding the phenomenon of Arctic amplification, characterized by amplified and accelerated regional warming in the Arctic. A recently published paper, outcome of the Arktalas Hoavva project, synthesized the significant contributions of satellite observations, shedding light on the nature and characteristics of this phenomenon, and capturing key …
Snow cover is an important component of the Earth’s cryosphere and plays a significant role in regulating the Earth’s climate and hydrological cycle. Accurate estimates of snow cover are essential for a range of applications, from climate modelling to water resource management. In a recently published study, researchers develop an adaptive method for estimating snow-covered …
ESA, NASA, and JAXA joined forces at FOSS4G 2023, the largest global gathering for Free and Open-Source Software for Geospatial, to organize a successful hands-on workshop on “Open Science with NASA-ESA-JAXA EO Dashboard”. The workshop highlighted their collaborative effort, the EO Dashboard, an open-access resource illustrating global changes in the environment, economy, and agriculture using …
At the beginning of 2023 the European Space Agency and the African Union Commission issued a call for 4 African Research Fellows to carry R&D activities for one year in ESA-ESRIN, Frascati. This was the second call, following the one successfully carried-out in 2021/2022. It aims at empowering African Researchers (PhD or Master degree with …
While greenhouse gas emissions have continued to increase, significant progress has been made in estimating global and regional carbon budgets, especially in reducing carbon budget uncertainties and better quantifying emissions from different sources. Advances have also been made in understanding the interaction between cycles of carbon, water, and nitrogen and the effects of climate change …
Measuring nutrient composition in crops is an ever-increasing need in a global context where micronutrient malnutrition is affecting more than 2 billion people, i.e., more than 26% of the world’s population. Conventional, laboratory-based methods are far too costly to be applied on a large scale. A study, conducted in the framework of the EO Science …
Are you curious about the Network of Resources (NoR) catalogue of services? Perhaps you’re familiar with it but unsure about the most suitable tools for your needs. A comprehensive series of webinars to train on the various cloud platforms and services available from this rich pool of resources is being kick-started at the end of …
The Earth System Science Workshop took place at the ESRIN Science Hub from May 22 to 26, 2023, bringing together a group of 12 PhD students from the University of Edinburgh and University of Leeds led by Professor Kathy Whaler. The workshop aimed to train participants in working with ESA’s Deep Earth System Data Lab …
The European Space Agency, in collaboration with the Comisión Nacional de Actividades Espaciales (CONAE), has announced an exciting opportunity for the international scientific community. The Announcement of Opportunity (AO) aims to provide access to data from the SAOCOM mission for scientific research and the development of Earth Observation (EO)-based applications. This initiative is part of …
The ESA Network of Resources, or NoR, is the ever-evolving initiative that provides Research, Precommercial and Commercial users with a unique environment to discover a list of European cloud services hosting Earth Observation data. Kicked off in late 2017 as the Network of EO Platforms with the goal to bring users to the data, today, …
