Satellites provide crucial, and increasingly important, information to help understand our changing climate. However, better understanding Earth observation data can be a daunting task for new users. A new online course, developed by the University of Twente, on behalf of ESA, helps students, researchers and other professionals analyse satellite data to help measure and mitigate …
Running from 2017 to December 2021, the Copernicus Research and User Support (RUS) service aimed to develop an online free-access platform to promote the uptake of Copernicus data and support the scaling up of educational and R&D activities. In particular, the service provided Copernicus data access, cloud computing resources, access to effective software tools and …
The objective of the SENTREE (Semi-supervised SENtinel-2 TREE Species Detection) project is to detect tree species in Norwegian production forests by developing deep learning models which will combine high resolution aerial imagery with Sentinel-2 data. A major challenge in utilizing deep learning for tree species detection is the limited amount of training labels and their …
Information on forest biomass and carbon is in high demand by forestry stakeholders. This project will develop remote sensing based user-centric approaches for forest carbon monitoring, helping to shift economies towards carbon neutral futures.We aim to develop and implement a prototype of a remote sensing based monitoring and accounting platform with consistent results on carbon …

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 …
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, …
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 …
