It will take place in a fully online format from 8-12 November 2021. ESA and the Latin American Society of Remote Sensing …
EO and AI for Forestry This course is dedicated to training the next generation of Earth Observation (EO) scientists and experts working in forestry domain to exploit data from EO missions (e.g. the Copernicus Sentinels) and use Artificial Intelligence (AI) for science and applications development. The training will include theory and hands-on sessions on …
The MRV4C project, developing a Monitoring, Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) System for cocoa agroforestry in the Dominican Republic (DR) was a 1-year activity funded by the European Space Agency through the Open Call funding opportunity, addressing activity line 6, “EO for Sustainable Development”, of the ESA EO SCIENCE FOR SOCIETY programme. The aim of …
This webinar will demonstrate how data from Copernicus Sentinel-2 can serve the purpose of crop mapping using different types of classification algorithms (supervised and unsupervised) in the R language. The study area will be the Guadalquivir Marshes near Seville, Spain. The webinar will also show how to access the RUS environment to download, process, analyze and …
The observational capabilities provided by Sentinel-1 SAR (S1) and Sentinel-2 multi-spectral have considerable potential to enhance information retrievals related to time series approaches. Cloud coverage often severely limits the utility of multi-spectral time-series, while SAR data remains largely unaffected by clouds. At the same time, many biophysical parameters cannot be derived directly from SAR data …
Agricultural monitoring at national scale is a prerequisite for assessing and analyzing the agricultural resources by mandated authorities, usually the agricultural National Statistical Offices (NSOs). NSO collect in general national agricultural monitoring data by farm and household surveys. Recognizing the limitations of the current agricultural data collection in developing, emerging as well as in industrialized …
The project aims at determining changes in agricultural management patterns, particularly in crop harvest dates, as accurately as possible using Sentinel-1 radar data, and assessing whether linked to Covid-19.

The ET4FAO project demonstrated the suitability of Copernicus data (Sentinel-2, Sentinel-3 and ERA-5) for accurate and consistent country-wide mapping of actual evapotranspiration (ET) at spatial resolutions ranging from 20 m to 300 m. This was achieved through production of ET maps covering the whole of Tunisia and Lebanon for the year 2019. Validation across 6 …
The European Space Agency (ESA) organised the 6th Advanced Course on Radar Polarimetry dedicated to training the next generation of Earth Observation (EO) scientists to exploit dual and fully polarimetric data for science and applications development. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event took place in an online format. A total of 40 post-graduate, PhD …
