Environmental Crimes workshop 2024

June 11 @ 09:00 - June 12 @ 17:00 UTC+2
ESA-ESRIN, Largo Galileo Galilei, 1
Frascati, RM 00044 Italy

Background Environmental crime is growing at annual rates of 5% to 7% globally. Countering environmental crime is complex  as it is often perpetrated by criminal organizations operating across borders. It also spans a broad range of activities, such as illegal waste management and shipment, illegal logging and trade in timber, illegal water abstraction, pollution, habitats …

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 …

Forecasting Water Quality from Space (FC-WQ)

Prime company: BROCKMANN CONSULT GMBH (DE)

Despite their global coverage and public availability, measurements of water quality parameters retrieved by remote sensing have not been used for local short-term forecasting of water quality yet. In fact, forecasting based on remote sensing water quality products with on-ground resolution from, say, 30 m (Sentinel-2 MSI, Landsat-8/9 OLI) to 300 m (Sentinel-3A/B OLCI) or …

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 …

Eu-Mon

Prime company: CGI ITALIA S.R.L. (IT)

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 …

Super-Resolution Enhanced Data for EO Applications and Services – Topic C: Hyperspectral Data Super-Resolution

Prime company: KP Labs Sp. z o.o. (PL)

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 …

Revealing coastline dynamics of the Danube Delta

Hundreds of satellite images spanning 30 years have been compiled to show the evolution of the Danube Delta – the second largest river delta in Europe. These findings were presented today at ESA’s Living Planet Symposium taking place this week in Bonn, Germany. Read the full story on ESA EO pages.

PASS-SWIO

Prime company: National Oceanography Centre (NOC) (GB)

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 …

FFSAR – Coastal Fully Focused SAR Altimetry and Innovative River Level Gauges for Coastal Monitoring

Prime company: SATELLITE OCEANOGRAPHIC CONSULTANTS LTD. (GB)

Fully Focused (FF) SAR Coastal [FFSAR-Coastal] is a project funded by ESA to apply the Fully Focused 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 have been considered: The …
