Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are meant to assist countries to manage and monitor progress on the three key interconnected components of sustainable development: economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability. This must therefore be integrated into the national policies and processes. EO is potentially a great source of information for mapping and monitoring SDGs either …
This activity implements and validates SR algorithms for hyperspectral imagery (HSI). With respect to the input data presented for reconstruction, these considered algorithms will be either 1) fusing of HSI (PRISMA) with an auxiliary panchromatic image of higher spatial resolution; or 2) fusing of a HSI without any additional data, exploiting the spatial-spectral fusion of …
Earth Observation Advanced science Tools for Sea level Extreme Events (EOatSEE) is a project funded by ESA and proposed by a consortium of institutions and companies that are internationally recognized for their work in the Marine, Coastal and Earth Observation topics. It aims to provide an advanced reconstruction of the relevant processes included in extreme …
PASS-SWIO, a project funded by ESA (via the Permanent Open Call), aims to establish a sea level monitoring system for Madagascar based on the installation and deployment of a low-cost relocatable tide gauge (Portagauge). Portagauge uses GNSS interferometric reflectometry (GNSS-IR) technology alongside a conventional radar. By combining these measurements with the analysis of satellite altimeter …
Fully Focused (FF) SAR Coastal [FFSAR-Coastal] is a project funded by ESA to apply the Fully Focussed SAR altimetry processor on Sentinel-3 data and evaluate its potential to make a significant new contribution to coastal and estuarine monitoring systems, when coupled with innovative water level gauges for validation. Two different environments will be considered: The …
Increasing pressure due to anthropogenic drivers is leading to a reduction of global biodiversity and its associated benefits at the planetary scale. In open ocean (seafloor depth greater than 200 m) the most important direct drivers of biodiversity loss is fishing and extraction of seafood, with a lesser but rapidly increasing importance of climate change, …
Increasing pressure on nature due to anthropogenic drivers is leading to a reduction of global biodiversity and its associated benefits at the planetary scale. In coastal environments, the most important direct drivers of biodiversity loss are fishing, land and sea use, climate change and pollution. These drivers have accelerated in the last 50 years, and …
The aim of this activity is to investigate the viability of developing an Escherichia coli (E. coli) Alert Data Service for environmental agencies and local authorities. This will be carried out via the development of an analysis method for the fusion of in-situ (lab and sensor measurements) and satellite data (optical and radar), validated by …
EO4PAC project aims at the development of a roadmap for the next generation of the Arctic Coastal Dynamics database. The focus is on complementation of in situ records with satellite data across the entire Arctic.
Over the 1995—2020 period, around 40% of the Greek coastlines analysed within the coastal erosion project lead by I-Sea have shown progradation, which is the seaward growth of beaches caused by the progressive build-up of sediment. The team found that nearly 10% of the studied coastal areas are subject to erosion greater than 3 m per …
