The workshop will be held at Espaces Vanel Toulouse, France on the following dates: 11th PolInSAR & Biomass Workshop: 19 – 23 June 2023 The event will be preceded by the 7th ESA Advanced Course …
In Q4 2022, ESA organised an open Information Day to address Civil Society Organisations (CSOs)/ Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) with presentations on the potential of EO in support to ecosystems restoration and conservation. The event was attended by around 60 CSOs/NGOs. The Consultation was complemented with a questionnaire circulated to participants and interested stakeholders to capture …
Billions of radar images over the entire Amazon basin have been converted into a data cube and processed to help a dynamic detection of forest loss. This work, performed within the Sentinel-1 for Science: Amazonas project, uses a space-time data cube design (also known as StatCubes), where statistical information relevant to identify deforestation is extracted …
The goal of Pixstart is to establish a new EO-based service dedicated to the foresters, denoted Woodwatch. This new service will help them to optimize their forest management thanks to ingestion of satellite derived maps into dedicated GIS environments. The present project will consist of developing the scientific part (algorithms) of the Woodwatch service. The …
The SDG Pathfinder project – EO for Sustainable Forest Management will develop and showcase in partnership with the custodian agency FAO innovative EO approaches to produce indicators on the sustainable management of natural, semi-natural and planted forests. It will benefit from improved data availability to support the SDG 15 Life on Land with the SDG …
The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration focus on the restoration of ecosystems on a large scale to achieve the United Nations sustainable development agenda in 2030. The PEOPLE Ecosystem Restoration project will develop innovative products and indicators determining and monitoring processes, both degradation and/or recovery. In several pilot sides in various ecosystems like boreal peatland …
The BiomAP project aims to Integrate active and passive microwave data towards a novel global record of aboveground biomass maps. This comprises an end-to-end assessment of active and passive microwave observations at coarse spatial resolution at the longest wavelengths available in space to generate global AGB estimates. This work will eventually provide a 5-years baseline, …
QueryPlanet aims at democratizing the access of Artificial Intelligence to the Earth Observation community by developing open-tools for the creation of AI-ready EO dataset and use-cases that leverage such datasets to build global insights applications. Material and datasets develop under QueryPlanet are open-access. The project aims at providing open-source tools for the exploitation of Earth …
