IMITATE – Introducing Machine-learning Into Targeted Analysis for Terrestrial Ecosystems
Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF LEICESTER (GB)The proposed IMITATE project aims to address the following questions: How well can machine learning methods emulate physical process-based land surface models, focused over Europe? Can explainable AI techniques provide new insights into process understanding when combining land surface models and Earth Observation data Are the learnt relationships between the modeled inputs and outputs consistent …

Prime company: CNR-INSTITUTE OF MARINE SCIENCES-ISMAR (IT)Forest Carbon Monitoring
Prime company: VTT TECHNICAL RESEARCH CENTRE OF FINLAND LTD (FI)Information on forest biomass and carbon is in high demand by forestry stakeholders. This project will develop remote sensing based user-centric approaches for forest carbon monitoring, helping to shift economies towards carbon neutral futures.We aim to develop and implement a prototype of a remote sensing based monitoring and accounting platform with consistent results on carbon …
Ocean Carbon from Space Workshop
February 14, 2022 - February 18, 2022
ESA, together with PML and support from NASA, is organising an Ocean Carbon From Space Workshop, to be held virtually from 14 to 18 February 2022. This workshop is being organised as the second workshop in the CLEO (Colour and Light in the ocean from Earth Observations) Series and is a contribution to the Committee …
Black Sea and Danube Regional Initiative – Black Sea Environmental Protection
Prime company: NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR MARINE RES.R (RO)The Black sea is located in the north-eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea. It is a semi-closed basin that communicates with the Planetary Ocean through the Bosporus and Dardanelles Straits. The water balance is highly imposed by the freshwater inputs from some of the biggest rivers in Europe in terms of solid and liquid discharge: …
WATER CYCLE CHANGES CHARACTERISED FROM ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE RECYCLING (WEATHER)
Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF LEICESTER (GB)Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Tim Trent. Water vapour is an essential greenhouse gas in the Earth climate system, acting as a natural feedback mechanism for carbon dioxide forcing. Critical to the development of cloud and precipitation, water vapour also has a significant influence and impact on surface fluxes and radiative balance. Water vapour …
S14SCIENCE AMAZONAS
Prime company: GISAT S.R.O. (CZ)PROJECT GOALS The dense spatial and temporal coverage of the Amazon basin with Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar scenes has opened vast potential for capturing the complexity in tropical forest loss and regrowth. Sentinel-1 for Science Amazonas aims to: Develop, test and validate an operational-level Multi-temporal forest Change Detection (MCD) algorithm, Estimate carbon loss and gain …
Assesscarbon
Prime company: VTT TECHNICAL RESEARCH CENTRE OF FINLAND LTD (FI)The Assesscarbon project (Feb 2020 – Feb 2021) developed and demonstrated at a pre-operational level an approach for large area forest biomass and carbon modelling, combining ground reference data, Sentinel-2 imagery and primary production modelling. The overall goal of the project was to develop a foundation for a novel approach to derive large area biomass …
SEN4CARBON Theme 2: Fire Dynamics (SENSE4FIRE)
Prime company: TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITAT DRESDEN (DE)Based on the new possibilities of the Sentinel series of satellites, this project aims to develop a highly novel approach to derive global fire emissions estimates based on the characterisation of individual fires and their behaviour. These data will be combined with bottom-up estimates of fuel and combustion and top-down constraints on total carbon emissions …
