Integrated Remote Sensing for Biodiversity-Ecosystems Function – IRS4BEF

Prime company: MAX PLANCK INSTITUTE FOR BIOGEOCHEMISTRY (DE)

The combination of information provided by different optical and thermal spaceborne imagers can give complementary information about vegetation plant biodiversity and ecosystem functions to understand their links (BEF relationships) better. However, how integrating multi-mission information in this context remains unclear. Therefore, IRS4BEF wants to solve relevant methodological questions regarding the integration and analysis of these …

ESA CARBON SCIENCE CLUSTER – Research Opportunities 1: Near-Real-Time CARBON EXTREMES

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF EXETER (GB)

There is a need for comprehensive, accurate, and low-latency information on land carbon fluxes to be underpinned by high resolution remote-sensing datastreams. A key policy-relevant challenge for the scientific community is the lack of a rapid quantification of carbon losses from recent mega droughts or fires despite numerous observations being available. The Near-Real-Time (NRT) Carbon …
