IV ESA EARSEL CNR School: Remote Sensing for Forest Fires

September 30 - October 1
ESA-ESRIN, Largo Galileo Galilei, 1
Frascati, RM 00044 Italy

Earth Observation has long been considered as a key tool for fire data, science, modelling, management, and monitoring. The most recent developments in computer technology, data processing, artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning approaches, and geospatial data mining techniques enable advanced dynamic modelling, tools, data integration, and assimilation schemes. They are expected to significantly support and …

GlobDiversity: Development of High-Resolution RS-Enabled EBVs on the Structure and Function of Terrestrial Ecosystems

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF ZURICH (CH)

A global knowledge of the state of and changes to biological diversity can only be based on a combination of in-situ and remotely sensed observations integrated into a comprehensive biodiversity knowledge system. The needs to integrate satellite observations in a unified and global biodiversity monitoring strategy has been recognised by the Convention on Biological Diversity …

RS4EBV: Remote Sensing for Essential Biodiversity Variables (DUE Innovator III Series)

Prime company: UN WORLD CONSERVATION MONITORING CENTRE (UN-WCMC) (GB)

Biodiversity is facing a global crisis as evidenced by dramatic declines in species and habitats. Tracking the state of biodiversity requires operational monitoring systems underpinned by robust indicators. While these indicators convey invaluable information to policy makers on the status and trends of biodiversity, their use is hampered due to patchy geographical coverage of input …
