International Workshop on High-Resolution Thermal EO

May 10 - May 12
ESA-ESRIN, Largo Galileo Galilei, 1
Frascati, RM 00044 Italy

Background High-resolution thermal Earth Observation (EO) has been identified as a major observational gap in our rapidly warming climate. Land-surface temperature is a key variable needed for understanding and adapting to climate variability, managing water resources sustainably for agricultural production, mitigating health stress during heatwaves, predicting droughts, monitoring coastal and inland waters and addressing natural …

TAVAP: Timing and Variable Application of Plant Growth Regulators

Prime company: World from Space (CZ)

Variable application of fertilizers based on remote sensing data analysis has become popular among farmers focussing on smart agriculture. Some farmers and companies are in similar manner using variable seeding strategies, in order to save costs and improve yields. Variable application of plant growth regulators is a promising step towards precision agriculture. A growth regulator, …

EO Africa Invitations to Tender Users

Invitation to Tender: “EO Africa – Continental Demonstrator LUISA: Land Use Intensities potential, vulnerability and resilience for Sustainable Agriculture in Africa”

Over Africa, land use intensification is a subject of particular research interest. The African land system is undergoing rapid changes and novel approaches are needed to understand the drivers and consequences of land use intensification, as well as the dependency, vulnerability and resilience caused by climate change. It is paramount to understand Africa’s potential, vulnerability …
