EO Africa online course on EO for Marine and Coastal Resources Applications

January 27, 2025 - February 21, 2025

This online course aims to provide the participants with the competence to use Earth Observation (EO) data and products to leverage the management of marine and coastal aquatic resources and policymaking. The main objective is to deepen and broaden the knowledge and practical skills of participants in using EO products and applications for the integrated …

SUP FCP – MULTISENSOR WATER DISCHARGES

Prime company: Planetek Italia (IT)

Identification – which includes both detection and characterisation – of liquid discharges from land is a relevant topic both for coastal and fresh waters areas. Such events can pose a relevant treat to the different kinds of ecosystem that can be found in such areas, as well as have a negative impact to their sustainable …

Assessment of wave energy resource in the European and Mediterranean coastal zones using high resolution altimetry products – WAPOSAL

Prime company: INSTITUTO SUPERIOR TECNICO (PT)

The project’s primary objective is to evaluate the potential of wave renewable energy sources in coastal zones of Europe, Mediterranean and archipelagos where the energy can be efficiently harnessed. To achieve this objective, the project is processing the whole CryoSat, Sentinel-3A, and Sentinel-3B missions data over specific coastal zones and using the advanced SAMOSA+ retracker …

Dedicated dredge plume monitoring with EO (PLUMES)

Prime company: VLAAMSE INSTELLING VOOR TECHNOLOGISCH ONDERZOEK VITO (BE)

Dredging operations are essential to protect coastlines, safe navigation and ensuring access to harbours. With threats of sea level rise, flooding and more extreme storms, the need for dredging operations will only increase and their sustainable implementation will be key. Clients are ever more aware of the need for a sustainable dredging operation and also …

Resolving near-coastal remote sensing signal into contributions by bottom, water column, glint, and the adjacency effect (GlintMapper)

Prime company: ESTONIAN MARINE INSTITUTE, UNIVERSITY OF TARTU (EE)

All waterbodies are changing in the variable climate conditions. Monitoring of these changes over large areas is possible only by using remote sensing. However, remote sensing of lacustrine waterbodies is hampered by the nearby land as part of the signal measured above the waterbodies originates from the nearby land not from the water itself. This …

Early detection and characterization of harmful algal blooms for the protection of coastal fisheries (EO4HAB)

Prime company: Hytech-imaging (FR)

Microalgae blooms represent an increasingly present risk in coastal regions. They have in fact been favoured, in recent years, by the increasing anthropization of these areas and global warming throughout the world. Efflorescences, or blooms, lead to overconsumption of oxygen which can lead to attacks of anoxia, but they can also be toxic, or cause …

30 YEARS OF PROGRESS IN RADAR ALTIMETRY” SYMPOSIUM | Montpellier, France 2-7 September 2024

September 2 - September 7

Background Following on from the 15, 20 and 25 “Years of Progress in Radar Altimetry” Symposia (respectively in 2006, 2012, and 2018), all deemed very successful milestones by the participants and the readership of the Proceedings, we have now reached the 30-year anniversary of precise altimetry. To mark this occasion the European Space Agency, in …

COASTAL BLUE CARBON

Prime company: I-SEA (FR)

Coastal Blue Carbon is the carbon captured and sequestered by photosynthetic organisms and ultimately stored in the biomass, soils and sediments within and beyond coastal vegetated ecosystems, such as salt marshes, seagrass beds and mangrove forests, for periods of time relevant to climate change mitigation. These Blue Carbon Ecosystems (BCEs) may contribute to 50% of …

EO BALTIC PLATFORM FOR GOVERNMENTAL SERVICES (EO-BALP)

Prime company: Baltic Satellite Service (LV)

The goal of the EO-BALP project is to develop a cloud service platform for Earth Observation (EO) data access and processing and provide six different applications that will demonstrate the practical use of satellite data in different domains: Monitoring application of infrastructure and settlements with more than 60,000 inhabitants, which will help to detect and …

HyperBOOST

Prime company: Plymouth Marine Laboratory (GB)

In situ bio-optical datasets are essential for the assessment of the uncertainties of satellite ocean colour measurements and derived products. This is especially critical in coastal waters (between 200m and 5km distance from the coastline), where land adjacency effects, complex atmospheric aerosol mixtures, high loads of optically active components in particular high concentration of chromophoric …
