World soils user consultation meeting

July 2 - July 3
ESA-ESRIN, Largo Galileo Galilei, 1
Frascati, RM 00044 Italy

Soil, the mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids and organisms that constitute the upper layer of the Earth, is key for life. Climate change, industrialization and urbanization, intensive agriculture and livestock farming are exercising pressures that might lead to soil degradation. Consequently, as highlighted from several international treaties, such as the Sustainable Development Goals, …

Snow avalanche detection and monitoring with Sentinel-1

  Incomplete avalanche activity datasets introduce uncertainty to avalanche forecasting Roughly 150-250 people die each year in avalanche accidents. Infrastructure loss and costs from evacuations and road closures and the use of active and permanent mitigation measures amount to large economic costs. Regional avalanche forecasting is an active mitigation measure that informs the public of …
