Monitoring Atmospheric Anomalies from Space: A Topological Approach (MAASTA)

Prime company: FINNISH METEOROLOGICAL INSTITUTE (FI)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Laia Amoros. Carbon dioxide (CO₂) has experienced an alarming increase since the Industrial Revolution due to anthropogenic factors like fossil fuel combustion and deforestation. Before the Industrial Revolution, atmospheric CO₂ levels were relatively stable, around 280 parts per million (ppm). By the 21st century, human activities have increased CO₂ …
