Twenty years after ESA’s 2003 workshop on Coastal and Marine applications of SAR (ESA SP-565), the SeaSAR workshop is returning to Svalbard from 2-6 May 2023. The format of the workshop will be similar to the 2003 workshop and will be organized around keynote presentations and thematic discussions. The following targeting themes will be addressed: …
Introduction and Objectives The European Space Agency, ESA, is organising the EO Science for Society Info Days to introduce activities in FutureEO-1 Segment 2 Block 4 “EO Science for Society”. The main goals of these Info Days will be to present the upcoming opportunities for European entities to participate in the activities of the ongoing …
The SDG Pathfinder project – EO for Sustainable Forest Management will develop and showcase in partnership with the custodian agency FAO innovative EO approaches to produce indicators on the sustainable management of natural, semi-natural and planted forests. It will benefit from improved data availability to support the SDG 15 Life on Land with the SDG …
The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration focus on the restoration of ecosystems on a large scale to achieve the United Nations sustainable development agenda in 2030. The PEOPLE Ecosystem Restoration project will develop innovative products and indicators determining and monitoring processes, both degradation and/or recovery. In several pilot sides in various ecosystems like boreal peatland …
The 2022 Workshop on Earth Observation for Ecosystem Accounting (EO4EA 2022) is organized by the European Space Agency in collaboration with the Environmental-Economic Account section of the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) and the Earth Observations for Ecosystem Accounting initiative of the Group on Earth Observations (GEO EO4EA). Background The System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA) provides …
One of the most limiting factors of ML and AI for EO applications is the scarcity of suitable and accessible training datasets. Currently, the main barrier is that the generation of such datasets is a time consuming and expensive process. Typically access to high quality training datasets is very restricted; in some cases, domain experts …
One year ago, on 20 October 2021, the new baseline global land cover product at 10 m resolution, exploiting Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data, showing 11 land cover classes with unprecedented detail, was launched. Last 28 October 2022, 9 months from the last data take, the global product with data from year 2021 was released. Read …
The urban environment we live in is more and more complex. Interrelations and dependencies as well as the effects of changes are becoming increasingly difficult to assess. In this framework, the Digital Twin Urban Pilot (DTUP) concept is of key importance: It allows to create an image of the reality on which one can effectively …
Within “ARIES” experimental EO analysis techniques will be developed and validated, addressing water resources management and food security matters. Those techniques,algorithms and prototype solutions will leverage a new generation of upcoming operational EO data: thermal and hyperspectral. In addition to established EO resources, especially Copernicus driven Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3, the intended ECOSTRESS and PRISMA data …
