In April 2019 ESA has released a White Paper on “Blockchain and Earth Observation” to define the key focus areas for the EO community to explore in the context of the Space 4.0 and future digital engineering for space missions. This publication is a second installation of the “Issue Briefs” by the ESA Blockchain / …
The project aims at advancing capabilities towards a quantitative, accurate and routine estimation of irrigation information by means of multi-mission satellite EO approaches: Irrigation mapping, quantifying the irrigation amount and detecting the seasonal timing of irrigation.
The project will perform an experimental campaign to investigate the potential of Sentinel-2 and PRISMA data to estimate and predict the concentration of different nutrients (K, P, Ca, Fe, Mg, Zn, N and S) in the final agricultural production.
The SenCYF project proposes an innovative crop yield forecasting model based on Sentinel-2 data, validated with a France-wide in situ yield data set. It aims at addressing two core scientific questions: What are the performances of a nation-wide S2-based winter wheat yield estimation model at farm level? What are the performances of a nation-wide S2-based …
The World Bank’s Crisis & Disaster Risk Finance (CDRF) team is coordinating the Next Generation of Drought Index Project (NGDI) effort, through a research consortium led by IRI and including IWMI and AIR Worldwide, to catalyze transformation of insurance development. With technical support from ESA, NGDI is developing a practical framework for a set of …
