On-Hold Temporary Please, note that the Living Planet fellowship call 2025 is on hold temporary. We are adapting the documentation to a new and more adequate collaborative framework. The updated documents and new deadline for submission of proposals will be communicated in September. With this change ESA aims at improving the process and establish a …
When it comes to climate change, the land surfaces are where the vast majority of impacts happen. The task of monitoring those across the globe is formidable and must necessarily rely on satellites – at a significant cost: the measurements are only indirect and require comprehensive physical understanding. ESA’s Carbon Cluster projects LCC and TCCAS …
Arctic wetlands and lakes are integral components of the Arctic region’s methane emissions, primarily due to their association with permafrost and the unique environmental conditions they provide for methane production. Wetlands, encompassing various types, such as bogs, fens, and marshes, are particularly abundant in the Arctic landscape (Albuhaisi et al. 2023). These wetland ecosystems thrive …
MEETING POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE Background The carbon cycle is central to the Earth system, being inextricably coupled with climate, the water cycle, nutrient cycles and the production of biomass by photosynthesis on land and in the oceans. Understanding the patterns of exchanges of carbon between the atmosphere, ocean and land and the processes associated …
Groundbreaking results published today in Nature Geoscience reveal that fire emissions in the Amazon and Cerrado biomes are largely driven by the smouldering combustion of woody debris. The research, conducted within the framework of the SENSE4FIRE project, highlights how fuel characteristics, such as dead wood, play a critical role in fire emissions. By integrating satellite …
