Sentinel User Preparation and organic Carbon from earth Observation between Ocean and Land — SUPaCOOL

Prime company: Plymouth Marine Laboratory (GB)

Satellite-based ocean-colour observations can track these surface river plumes, providing valuable insights into the fate of organic matter from rivers. They help monitor local production, as well as the movement and exchange between dissolved and particulate forms of carbon through processes such as  adsorption and desorption. At present, our ability to observe riverine plumes has …

2nd Ocean Carbon from Space workshop

November 24, 2025 @ 09:00 - November 26, 2025 @ 17:00 UTC+2

Background Quantifying the ocean carbon budget and its response to anthropogenic forcing is a major goal in climate research. The ocean has absorbed about a quarter of anthropogenic CO₂ emissions while the proportion of carbon uptake has increased relative to emissions. However, our understanding of ocean carbon pools, processes that modulate them, and interactions with …

Space for Shore: Sentinel-1 reveals Arctic glacier retreat

The Space for Shore project has revealed trends in Arctic glacier retreat and calving intensity, with notable impacts observed in regions like Kongsfjorden, Svalbard. Using over 1,000 radar images from the Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission, scientists monitored the evolution of Svalbard’s coastal glaciers between 2015 and 2023. The study highlights a statistically defined mapping of summer …
