Living Planet Symposium 2025

June 23 - June 27
Austria Center Vienna, Bruno-Kreisky-Platz 1
Wien, 1220 Austria

Background The Living Planet Symposium 2025 (LPS25) is the latest in ESA’s triennial series of global events on Earth observation. Held every three years, these symposia have grown in both size and scope, focusing on key environmental issues. In response to the intensifying climate crisis, LPS25 will center on the theme of moving “from observation …

New ATMOS 2024 conference report and recommendations

The conference report from ATMOS2024 has just been released, a comprehensive document detailing highlights of the talks and posters presented at the conference held in Bologna, Italy, in July 2024. Fundamentally, the outcomes of this conference were used to develop a series of community-derived recommendations to ESA which are included in the report. This year’s …

EARTHCARE ATLID AND MSI INSTRUMENTS SYNERGY FOR ADVANCED RETRIEVAL OF AEROSOL VERTICAL PROFILES (ECAMS)

Prime company: GRASP-SAS (FR)

The ECAMS (EarthCARE ATLID and MSI Instruments Synergy for Advanced Retrieval of Aerosol Vertical Profiles) project focuses on enhancing aerosol vertical profiling through the integration of active and passive satellite measurements. By combining data from EarthCARE’s ATLID (Atmospheric LIDar) and MSI (Multi-Spectral Imager) with PACE mission’s polarimeters (SPEXone and HARP-2), ECAMS aims to develop a …

Identification of major persistent methane source regions

The anthropogenic emissions of methane (CH4), after those of carbon dioxide (CO2), are the second most important man-made source of greenhouse gases contributing to global warming. Over a 20-year timescale, each kilogram of methane emitted has a global warming potential more than 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Reducing methane emissions would help to …

AMPAC ESA NETWORKING ACTION

Prime company: b.geos GmbH (AT)

The Arctic is warming more than twice as fast as the global average, making climate change’s polar effects more intense than anywhere else in the world. The Arctic accounts for half of the organic carbon stored in soils. There is high confidence that the thaw of terrestrial permafrost will lead to carbon release, but only …

EO4SEM – EO FOR SHIP EMISSION MONITORING

Prime company: GMVIS SKYSOFT S.A. (PT)

EO4SEM aims to advance towards the EO-driven monitoring of ship emissions, particularly GHGs such as CO2 and CH4 as well as air pollutants like NOx. The motivation comes from the need to improve our understanding of these emissions from ships and in view of new and future regulations within the European Union (EU) and at …

AGATE – AGRICULTURE ATMOSPHERIC EMISSIONS

Prime company: KNMI (NL)

Regions with intensive agriculture often suffer from air pollution and acidification/nitrification of the soil. In addition, these regions are often responsible for the release of methane emissions. Methane (CH4), the second most important greenhouse gas (GHG) after carbon dioxide (CO2), is emitted from cattle farms, rice paddies and the use of manure. Excessive anthropogenic emissions …

DECSO-NRT-EUROPE

Prime company: KNMI (NL)

DECSO-NRT-Europe aims to develop a near-real time (NRT) NOx emission service for Europe based on Sentinel data. NRT means emissions estimates are derived less than one month after the actual emission. In the first phase, we plan to build the NRT service for Sentinel-5P data, using the existing state-of-the-art inversion algorithm DECSO. In the second …

3RD WORKSHOP ON INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION IN SPACEBORNE IMAGING SPECTROSCOPY| Hyperspectral 2024

November 13, 2024 - November 15, 2024
ESA-ESTEC, Keplerlaan 1
Noordwijk, Netherlands

Background Imaging spectroscopy in the visible to shortwave infrared wavelength range, is a powerful tool for the remote sensing of Earth surface and atmosphere properties. Imaging spectroscopy measurements have a high diagnostic power: spectroscopic observations with hundreds of contiguous spectral channels provide detection sensitivity to a wide range of physical processes and materials. The technique …
