4th Carbon from Space Workshop: Characterising the land component of the Carbon Cycle and its connection with the ocean and atmosphere

October 25 - October 28

Background Over the 5 years since the 3rd Carbon from Space workshop in Exeter in 2016, the efforts to implement the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) Carbon Strategy[1] have led to detailed plans for new satellite launches including, among others, Copernicus CO2M, BIOMASS, NISAR, FLEX, OCO-2, OCO-3, GEOCARB, GEDI and IceSat-2, all with potential …

1st Carbon Science Cluster Coordination Workshop

June 23, 2021 - June 24, 2021

  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. In the natural system the balance among carbon in the atmosphere, land and ocean is regulated through fluxes between these three …

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 …

FORESTSCAN

Prime company: UCL CONSULTANTS LTD (GB)

ESA’s upcoming Biomass mission will deliver valuable P-band SAR data aimed at forest aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation across the humid tropics. Additionally, the current NASA GEDI mission on the International Space Station (LiDAR), the NASA NISAR and JAXA ALOS-4 (L-band SAR) will widen our possibilities to estimate AGB from space. However, all these missions rely on …
