The WorldSoils activity aims at developing a global Earth Observation-Soil Monitoring System (EO-SMS) on a suitable cloud environment utilizing open source and information available from operational services (e.g. information layers from the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS) such as impervious layers e.g. soil sealing, land cover and change, soil moisture, etc…), user exchangeable soil reference …
Over the 1995—2020 period, around 40% of the Greek coastlines analysed within the coastal erosion project lead by I-Sea have shown progradation, which is the seaward growth of beaches caused by the progressive build-up of sediment. The team found that nearly 10% of the studied coastal areas are subject to erosion greater than 3 m per …
Climate change is having an undeniable influence on coastal areas. A substantial proportion of the world’s sandy coastlines are already eroding owing to increased storm surges, flooding and sea level rise. With our coastal environments in constant change, Earth observation satellites are being used to better strengthen our knowledge of changing coastlines. Read the full …
The pandemic has been and is still striking hard on cultural heritage: collapse in tourism revenues (according to UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee, as of early April last year, 71% of the 1,121 World Heritage sites had been closed and 18% were only partially open), increased vulnerability to looting, suspension of rehabilitation, conservation and archaeological exploration …
The European Space Agency and the WorldWater project with support from CNES, NASA, EARSC, CEOS and GEO invite interested parties to express their interest in participating in a Round Robin inter-comparison of inland surface water detection and monitoring algorithms using Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8 imagery. The objective of the Round Robin is to enable …
This webinar is addressed to Coastal Monitoring users, scientists, students, representatives from National, European and International Space Agencies, Value Adding Industries, Laboratories and Universities. Replay the webinar:
EO Φ-week gives you the chance to connect and network with scientists, educators, developers, students, start-ups, global industries and institutions in the field of space. Join to: Hear about the latest trends both in EO digital and sensing technologies and science. Learn about how ICT is revolutionising EO today and tomorrow, and the resulting opportunities. …
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms have great potential to advance processing & analysis of Earth Observation (EO) data. Training datasets (TDS) are crucial for ML and AI applications but they are becoming a major bottleneck in more widespread and systematic application of AI/ML in EO. The issues include: General lack and inaccessibility …
The overarching goal of the WorldCereal project is to develop an open source EO solution for monitoring of global crop area extent, which can be exploited by a wide community of stakeholders involved in the agricultural sector and active over a range of scales – from national agricultural reporting, regional crop productivity management, up to …
