EO Training before the XIX SELPER International Symposium: Sentinels for Vegetation and Natural Disasters (in Spanish)
ESA and the Latin American Society of Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Systems (SELPER) organised a training course preceding the XIX International SELPER Symposium. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event took place in an online format. The theoretical and practical sessions were led by different experts coming from ESA, CONAE, CRECTEALC, NASA ARSET, NASA …
Free online EO learning for everyone
Most recent add-on to the collection of online MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) dedicated to Earth observation data, techniques and applications is Land in Focus, launched last 4 October. This MOOC, funded by ESA, has been developed by experts from various internationally renowned institutes such as EOS Jena, WUR Wageningen, RUB Bochum, FSU Jena, Sinergise, …
Vine irrigation from earth observation data – WineEO
Prime company: TERRANIS SAS (FR)Optimizing water resources is a real issue in some geographical area. Temperature have increased by 0,85°C on average between 1880 and 2012 and couldreach 4.8°C by 2100 compared to the period from 1986 to 2005, according to the last IPCC report. As a result, agriculture and viticulture are facing an increasing water scarcity at the …
S14SCIENCE AMAZONAS
Prime company: GISAT S.R.O. (CZ)PROJECT GOALS The dense spatial and temporal coverage of the Amazon basin with Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar scenes has opened vast potential for capturing the complexity in tropical forest loss and regrowth. Sentinel-1 for Science Amazonas aims to: Develop, test and validate an operational-level Multi-temporal forest Change Detection (MCD) algorithm, Estimate carbon loss and gain …
L-band Observations of Soil and Trees in Freezing/Thawing Conditions – LOSTinFTC
Prime company: FINNISH METEOROLOGICAL INSTITUTE (FI)Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Anna Kontu. Passive microwave observations at L-band (1.4 GHz) can detect soil freeze/thaw status based on the differences in the electrical properties of ice and liquid water. This method is suitable for detecting autumn freezing, but during spring thawing the liquid water in melting snow confounds the signal from …
Space4SafeSea
Prime company: e-Odyn (FR)The ocean surface circulation with all its time-space complexity is the open-air limb of the oceanic mass transport. Surface currents carry heat (climate), plankton (marine biology), plastic (pollution). As well wave-current interactions lead to significant sea state variability and strong wave height gradients inside relatively small geographic zones. The complex behaviour of the coupled wave-current …
RUS webinar: Estimation of forest above-ground biomass using Sentinel 2 data
This webinar will use Sentinel-2 data to estimate the value of forest above-ground biomass in a forest area in Ethiopia. As a reference dataset it will use the publicly available database produced by the ESA Biomass Climate Change Initiative (BCCI), for the year 2017. Processing of the image will be done using a combination of …
