EC-ESA JOINT EARTH SYSTEM SCIENCE INITIATIVE

November 22, 2023 - November 24, 2023
ESA-ESRIN, Largo Galileo Galilei, 1
Frascati, RM 00044 Italy

In the next decades, population growth is expected to amplify current pressures on critical resources such as fresh water or food, intensify the stress on land and marine ecosystems and increase environmental pollution and its impacts on health and biodiversity. Global warming and the increasing impacts of climate change, especially on most vulnerable populations, will …

CONTINENTAL DEMONSTRATOR LUISA: LAND USE INTENSITYS POTENTIAL, VULNERABILITY AND RESILIENCE FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE IN AFRICA

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF TWENTE (NL)

Over Africa, land use intensification is a subject of particular research interest. The African land system is undergoing rapid changes and novel approaches are needed to understand the drivers and consequences of land use intensification, as well as the dependency, vulnerability and resilience caused by climate change. It is paramount to understand Africa’s potential, vulnerability …

IMPROVED SOIL MOISTURE RETRIEVAL USING MACHINE LEARNING (ISML)

Prime company: ESTELLUS SAS (FR)

Terrestrial land surfaces are characterised by strong heterogeneities of, among other variables, soil texture, orography, land cover, snow, or Soil Moisture (SM). SM is of broad scientific interest due to its role in the Earth system: It impacts the partitioning of the incoming water and energy over land and affects then the variability of the …
