ESA, CNR and EARSeL organised a course dedicated to exploiting data from active and passive Earth Observation sensors for applications related to forest fires, and to discuss relevant research methods and technologies. The course was held on the occasion of the workshop “12th EARSeL Forest Fires SIG Workshop” (3-5 October 2019, Rome, Italy). The programme …
ESA’s SMOS mission is part of ESA’s Living Planet Programme and carries the first-ever, polar-orbiting, space-borne, 2-D interferometric radiometer providing observations at 1.4 GHz. From the Level 1 brightness temperatures we derive the Level-2 data products, namely surface soil moisture and vegetation optical depth (VOD) (over land) and sea surface salinity (over oceans). SMOS not …
Grasslands are a major part of the global ecosystem, covering 37 % of the earth’s terrestrial area. For a variety of reasons, mostly related to overgrazing and the resulting problems of soil erosion and weed encroachment, many of the world’s natural grasslands are in poor condition and showing signs of degradation. There is general agreement …

The purpose of the series of Trans-Atlantic Training (TAT) courses is to disseminate and discuss research methods and technologies from space. It is organised jointly by ESA, NASA and Charles University of Prague. This training was the seventh in the series of TAT courses. This edition focused on Earth Observation from optical and radar sensors …
The Science and Applications with Sentinel-2 special issue of Remote Sensing of Environment has been completed with the last paper published on 5 April 2019. It features a selection of 28 key papers covering a wide range of new applications monitoring natural and human-induced dynamic processes up to national and even continental scale at high-resolution. …
SINCOHMAP is an ESA SEOM project with the objective of developing, analysing and validating novel methodologies for land cover & vegetation mapping using Sentinel-1 Interferometric Coherence Evolution. One of the main objectives of the project is to quantify the impact in using S-1 InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) data relative to traditional land cover and vegetation mapping …

ESA and CONAE organised a SAR course in preparation of CONAE’s SAOCOM mission. The topics focused on demonstrating the combined use of X/C/L band SAR data for a variety of applications (including vegetation monitoring, disaster mapping and cryosphere) and using different techniques (among which InSAR and Polarimetry). This training addressed 70 Argentinian users with previous …
