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 …

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 …

SEN4CARBON Theme 1: Terrestrial Gross Primary Production (SEN4GPP)

Prime company: NOVELTIS SAS (FR)

The objective of the Sen4GPP project is to assess time-space variability of terrestrial gross primary production  (GPP) of terrestrial ecosystems by a synergistic exploitation of the complementary information provided by  the Sentinel missions (Sentinel-2, Sentinel-3 and Sentinel-5P) at multiple spatial and temporal resolutions, as well as other Earth Observation and in situ data.
