Impacts of PYROgenic aerosols on PLANKTON ecosystems (PYROPLANKTON)

Prime company: Barcelona Supercomputing Centre (BSC) (ES)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Joan Llort. In recent years, exceptionally large wildfires have been recorded in Australia, California, the Mediterranean region, and the Arctic. While there exists an established research effort on how Climate Change is leading these megafires and on how they are affecting land ecosystems, recent observations show that …

Penelope How

Penelope is a data scientist at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) with a background in Glaciology. She graduated from Lancaster University with a first-class bachelor degree in Physical Geography in 2012, before undertaking an MSc (by research) examining geothermal controls on ice flow at a glacier in Iceland. Following this, she pursued …

Examining GReenland’s Ice Marginal Lakes under a changing climate (GRIML)

Prime company: GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF DENMARK AND GREENLAND (DK)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Penelope How. Sea level is predicted to rise drastically by 2100, with significant contribution from the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet. In these predictions, melt runoff is assumed to contribute directly to sea level change, with little consideration for meltwater storage at the terrestrial margin of …

MOOC on Cryosphere Remote Sensing: Winter, Water, Warming

Welcome to the online course Winter, Water, Warming: Canadian SAR Applications. Watch the trailer here. This course will introduce you to how Canadians research, develop and utilize radar remote sensing technology for mapping and environmental monitoring. In five brief lessons, you will learn about early developments of radar leading to the Canadian RADARSAT program and …

4DATLANTIC EBUS PRIMUS

Prime company: Plymouth Marine Laboratory (GB)

Primary productivity in upwelling systems (PRIMUS) aims to provide the best possible characterisation of net primary productivity (NPP) and its relationship to upwelling in Atlantic Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS). Funded through ESA’s Regional Initiative, PRIMUS will produce a 25-year time series of 1-km NPP in all Atlantic EBUS, and experimentally, at higher-resolution (300m) using …

Vine irrigation from earth observation data – WineEO

Prime company: TERRANIS SAS (FR)

Optimizing water resources is a real issue in some geographical area. Temperature have increased by 0,85°C on average between 1880 and 2012 and couldreach 4.8°C by 2100 compared to the period from 1986 to 2005, according to the last IPCC report. As a result, agriculture and viticulture are facing an increasing water scarcity at the …

ASSESSING CRYOSPHERE-BIOSPHERE LINKAGES WITH EARTH OBSERVATIONS IN NORTHERN HIGH LATITUDES (CRYOBIOLINKS)

Prime company: FINNISH ENVIRONMENT INSTITUTE (SYKE) (FI)

Climate warming in the northern high latitudes is twice as strong as the global average. Increasing surface temperatures drive significant changes in the cryosphere, reducing the snow mass and extent, seasonal frost and permafrost. Changes in the cryosphere are interconnected with changes in the biosphere, e.g. carbon uptake and release by vegetation and soil. These …

Water cycle changes characterised from atmospheric moisture recycling (WEATHER)

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF LEICESTER (GB)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Tim Trent. Water vapour is an essential greenhouse gas in the Earth climate system, acting as a natural feedback mechanism for carbon dioxide forcing. Critical to the development of cloud and precipitation, water vapour also has a significant influence and impact on surface fluxes and radiative balance. Water vapour …

CASSIS (Climate Altimetric Studies with Sea Ice and Snow)

Prime company: CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE (CNRS) (FR)

Since the 1970s, spatial imagery has allowed to witness dramatic changes in sea ice extension and distribution. However, the sea ice thickness (SIT), which is a fundamental variable to understand and predict sea ice dynamics, is still insufficiently observed. So far, the only possibility to observe the sea ice freeboard (the sea ice emerged part …
