ESA and CONAE organised a SAR course in preparation of CONAE’s SAOCOM mission. The topics focused on demonstrating the combined use of X/C/L band SAR data for a variety of applications (including vegetation monitoring, disaster mapping and cryosphere) and using different techniques (among which InSAR and Polarimetry). This training addressed 70 Argentinian users with previous …
The European Space Agency and the World Bank are jointly organising a 2-day knowledge sharing and capacity enhancement event on satellite Earth Observation applications in agriculture and rural development. Download the final agenda.
The European Space Agency and the World Bank are jointly organising a 2-day knowledge sharing and capacity enhancement event on satellite Earth Observation applications in agriculture and rural development. The meeting will take place on 27 and 28 September 2018 at the World Bank premises in Washington D.C. The 2-day event explores the utility and …
Feeding a growing global population is a major concern, but efforts to grow more food will place an added burden on precious supplies of freshwater. New research shows how measurements of soil moisture from space could be used to understand how much water is used for agriculture and potentially help farmers manage consumption. A new …
The European Space Agency (ESA) is organising an Advanced Training Course on Land Remote Sensing dedicated to training the next generation of Earth Observation (EO) scientists to exploit data from EO missions (e.g. the Copernicus Sentinels) for science and applications development. Post graduate, PhD students, post-doctoral research scientists and users from European countries and Canada …

The GEORICE innovator addresses research priorities within the Group of Earth Observation Global Agricultural Monitoring (GEOGLAM) initiative related to SAR techniques for rice monitoring. The project developed and demonstrated EO products for crop rice stage monitoring based on the high temporal frequency of Sentinel-1 over the Mekong delta to derive statistics of rice planted area …
The Sen2-Agri project is designed to develop, demonstrate and facilitate the Sentinel-2 time series contribution to the satellite EO component of agriculture monitoring at national scale. The project will demonstrate the benefit of the Sentinel-2 mission for the agriculture domain across a range of crops and agricultural practices. The project objectives are to provide validated …
The Sen4CAP project aims at providing to the European and national stakeholders of the European Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) validated algorithms, products and best practices for agriculture monitoring relevant for the management of the CAP. Special attention shall be given to provide evidence how Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 derived information can support the modernization and simplification …
