VAD3EMECUM. Vegetation and drought: towards improved data-driven estimated of ecosystem carbon fluxes under moisture stress

Prime company: MAX PLANCK INSTITUTE FOR BIOGEOCHEMISTRY (DE)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Sophia Walther. Variations of water availability drive plant growth and vegetation carbon uptake from the atmosphere. At present, this induces substantial fluctuations in the global carbon balance and in year-to-year accumulation of atmospheric carbon. Under climate change, water stress is likely to be amplified by more frequent …

Global fires in 2019

The active fire detection capability of the SLST sensor on board of the Copernicus constellation of Sentinel 3A and Sentinel 3B is being exploited by the European Space Agency to derive systematic consistent counting of fires worldwide. The prototype product and algorithm have been presented at the Remote sensing of forest fire EARSeL conference in …

DryPan: Novel EO data for improved agricultural drought impact forecasting in the Pannonian basin

Prime company: EODC EARTH OBSERVATION DATA CENTRE FOR WATER RESOURCES MONITORING (AT)

The Pannonian basin is a sheltered region, with relatively low levels of precipitation (< 600 mm/year), therefore its surrounding mountains are considered a key water source. Over the last decades several drought episodes took place. Scientific research groups with cross-border cooperation on drought monitoring and management were established including the Drought Management Centre for South-Eastern …
