Application deadline is 15 May, 2023! The main objective of the NASA-ESA Trans-Atlantic Training (TAT) initiative is to train students and early career scientists in the field of Earth Observation through a series of training workshops in Eastern/Central Europe, with an emphasis on remote sensing of land-cover/use change and ecosystem dynamics. TAT-10 will take place …
Background: Timely and large-area information on nutrient concentrations in staple crops is lacking which limits our understanding of how nutrients vary across various geographic areas. In the absence of this information, we cannot efficiently guide research activities dedicated to alleviating potential nutrient deficiencies through genetic biofortification or agronomic biofortification by applying fertilizers. Overall goal: EO4Nutri …
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 …
A recent paper published in Earth System Science Data presents a breakthrough in irrigation data sets obtained from satellite observations. The study, conducted as part of the EO Science for Society Irrigation+ project, focuses on three major river basins with varying irrigation extents and methodologies, namely the Ebro river basin in northeastern Spain, the Po …
Monitoring crop growth is important for assessing food production, enabling optimal use of the landscape, and contributing to agricultural policy. Remote sensing methods based on optical and/or radar sensors have become an important means of extracting information related to crops. Optical data is related to the chemical properties of the vegetation, while radar data is …

The first parts of this Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) are out now! Further modules will be sequentially released until the end of 2023. The MOOC is developed by the Friedrich Schiller University Jena and Ruhr University Bochum with a community of stakeholders including ESA. It will give you insights on the potential of remote …
The webinar provides a biological basis for crop yield estimation and within-season forecasting with Earth observation image data. The webinar will be executed under the framework of the EO AFRICA R&D Facility by the University of Twente – Faculty of Geoinformation Science and Earth Observation.
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, …
