Wildfires are a natural component of the Earth system, important for nutrient release and vegetation growth. Climate change, however, is contributing to more frequent, more destructive and less predictable wildfires worldwide. Australia, in particular, experiences regular bush fires during the summer, but the devastating 2019-2020 bushfire season, known as the Black Summer, was unprecedented in …
Focusing on the New Space economy and innovations in Earth observation, ESA’s fourth Φ-week kicks off on Monday 11 October. A number of articles will be published on ESA web pages providing insights from the event. Not to miss any of them, you will find a dynamic, increasingly up-to-date list with links to the articles …
The main theme of Φ-week 2021 is the NewSpace economy and associated innovations – a global trend of emerging investment and entrepreneurial philosophy that, together with key technological advancements, is enabling a private space industry largely driven by commercial motivations and will eventually evolve into EO Commercial Space. The event will highlight how the NewSpace …
