The project plans to estimate crop water stress and evapotranspiration, exploiting ECOSTRESS and PRISMA data by experimental EO analysis techniques. Expected outcome: an open source innovative model will be developed to assess actual crop evapotranspiration (ETa) using EO-derived crop coefficient (Kc) and crop water stress index (CWSI). The solution will be integrated into a web …
Afri4Cast project will develop a modeling platform making full exploitation of satellite remote sensing of PRISMA and ECOSTRESS sensors for climate change impact analyses on agriculture and making it available to African stakeholders for shaping future agricultural policies in the African Continent. Afri4Cast will provide national-, regional-, parcel-, pixel-specific in season production estimates, mycotoxin formation …
This project aims to exploit new opportunities offered by the EO technological advances, in order to favour the development of EO local experts in Africa, by providing geospatial information and natural resources mapping/monitoring. Policy makers and relevant regional stakeholders (”Early Adopters”) will take a direct advantage on the availability of EO products describing the status …
HyRELIEF will exploit hyperspectral narrowbands (HNBs) captured by Hyperspectral Precursor and Application Mission (PRISMA) and employ a co-production approach with knowledge users to increase the reliability and usability of ECOSTRESS ET and ESI for drought monitoring in Kenya.
Primary objective of this project is to utilize the unique spatial, spectral and temporal characteristics of ECOSTRESS thermal sensor and PRISMA hyperspectral sensor to develop novel methods addressing the growing challenges affecting the nexus of water resource management and food security in Africa. Irrigated agriculture is right in the centre of those two domains and …
Within “ARIES” experimental EO analysis techniques will be developed and validated, addressing water resources management and food security matters. Those techniques,algorithms and prototype solutions will leverage a new generation of upcoming operational EO data: thermal and hyperspectral. In addition to established EO resources, especially Copernicus driven Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3, the intended ECOSTRESS and PRISMA data …
