Coastal Blue Carbon from Space Forum

May 14, 2024 - May 17, 2024
International Space Science Institute (ISSI), Hallerstrasse 6
Bern, Switzerland

The European Space Agency (ESA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are organizing a Coastal Blue Carbon from Space Forum, which will take place at the International Space Science Institute (ISSI, Bern, Switzerland), on 14-17 May 2024. Coastal Blue Carbon describes the carbon stored in vegetated coastal and marine ecosystems, mostly by seagrasses, mangroves, …

EC-ESA JOINT EARTH SYSTEM SCIENCE INITIATIVE

November 22 - November 24
ESA-ESRIN, Largo Galileo Galilei, 1
Frascati, RM 00044 Italy

In the next decades, population growth is expected to amplify current pressures on critical resources such as fresh water or food, intensify the stress on land and marine ecosystems and increase environmental pollution and its impacts on health and biodiversity. Global warming and the increasing impacts of climate change, especially on most vulnerable populations, will …

Recommendations from 4th Carbon from Space workshop now published

While greenhouse gas emissions have continued to increase, significant progress has been made in estimating global and regional carbon budgets, especially in reducing carbon budget uncertainties and better quantifying emissions from different sources. Advances have also been made in understanding the interaction between cycles of carbon, water, and nitrogen and the effects of climate change …

CARBON-RO: Near-Real-Time CARBON EXTREMES

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF EXETER (GB)

There is a need for comprehensive, accurate, and low-latency information on land carbon fluxes to be underpinned by high resolution remote-sensing datastreams. A key policy-relevant challenge for the scientific community is the lack of a rapid quantification of carbon losses from recent mega droughts or fires despite numerous observations being available. The Near-Real-Time (NRT) Carbon …

Untangling the ocean biological carbon pump

The BICEP project is an innovative effort to better understand the biological carbon pump in the oceans using satellite data. By mapping the distribution of phytoplankton and other satellite-based products of different pools and fluxes of biological carbon in the surface ocean, the project seeks to improve our understanding of the role of the ocean …

Using a data cube to monitor forest loss in the Amazon

Billions of radar images over the entire Amazon basin have been converted into a data cube and processed to help a dynamic detection of forest loss. This work, performed within the Sentinel-1 for Science: Amazonas project, uses a space-time data cube design (also known as StatCubes), where statistical information relevant to identify deforestation is extracted …

Building a bridge: estimating carbon dioxide emissions using satellites

A team of researchers estimated the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from coal-fired power plants and other major anthropogenic point sources in the South African Highveld region using space-based data. The results indicate that CO2 emissions can be obtained also in challenging cases where the plumes from multiple sources overlap. The new publication characterizes CO2 emissions …
