Extreme heat weakens land’s power to absorb carbon
A recent study, outcome of the research under the Carbon-RO1: NRT Extremes project, highlights a significant decline in the land carbon sink in 2023, a year marked by record-breaking global temperatures and severe climate events. The research team found that the CO₂ growth rate soared to 3.37 parts per million (ppm) at Mauna Loa Observatory, …

Join for an in-depth exploration of terrestrial carbon cycles, featuring expert lectures and practical sessions. This event, organised by ESA’s Carbon Science Cluster, AIMES, and the Terrestrial Carbon Community Assimilation System (TCCAS) project team is tailored for a diverse audience, from students to senior researchers/professors, providing valuable insights and hands-on experience in a collaborative environment. …
Dust sparked biggest phytoplankton bloom in decades
A new paper has been recently published on PNAS Nexus as a result of the work of two Living Planet Fellows, John Gittings with his POSEIDON project and Joan Llort with the PYROPLANKTON activity. The research explores the linkages between global warming, desertification, dust emissions and ocean fertilisation. In particular, the study shows that dust …
ESA CARBON SCIENCE CLUSTER: RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES 2 – THEME 1: LAND USE DYNAMICS AND THE CARBON CYCLE (EO4BK)
Prime company: INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR APPLIED SYSTEMS ANALYSIS (AT)The EO4BK project is focused on the assessment of the opportunities for improved understanding and quantification of changes in the land use related carbon pools and fluxes, by incorporating EO information in BK models. This project will pave the way for a new generation of BK models that are fully driven by EO data, allowing …
ESA CARBON SCIENCE CLUSTER: RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES 2 – THEME 2: CARBON DATA ENQUIRY AND BENCHMARKING (EOLINCS)
Prime company: MAX PLANCK INSTITUTE FOR BIOGEOCHEMISTRY (DE)The EOLINCS promotes a community effort towards an enhanced multi-mission assessment of the terrestrial carbon cycle at resolutions in space and time compatible with decision making by improving the access to the Earth Observation (EO) data for the wider carbon scientific community so that key questions related to scale, representativeness, consistency, reliability, as well as …
