The project aims to deliver a suite of services integrating EO data with in-situ and historical AIS data to assess the Black Sea environment. The services address various aspects, including Land Use and Land Cover coastal changes, eutrophication, marine front identification, mesoscale circulation, oil tanker path tracking, oil spill detection and monitoring, and high-resolution water …
Objective of the activity is to develop three key urban products that can be generated through the synergistic use of hyperspectral and thermal data of LSTM and CHIME together with S-2, S-3 and ESA’s Next Generations Sentinel Continuation missions. Specifically, the products are: Maps of the thermal properties of Urban Materials; Advanced Local Climate Zone …
The UpGreen project responds to ESA’s call Development and Verification of Urban Analytics with the aim of generating actionable information to make the urban environment more sustainable and resilient. With cities facing intensified impacts of climate change, the demand for innovative solutions to manage urban green spaces has never been higher. Traditional methods fall short …
Background Climate change, earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters; pollution, poaching, uncontrolled urbanization, and unchecked tourist development; armed conflict and war, pose major threats to both, cultural and natural heritage sites. Ongoing monitoring of these heritage sites is therefore necessary. However, doing it on-site becomes costly and sometimes difficult since the heritage site might be …
Background ESA is pleased to announce the organization of the 2024 EO for Africa Symposium in partnership with the African Union Commission (AUC), African Association of Remote Sensing of the Environment (AARSE), the European Commission (EC), the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The …
InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) is a satellite-based remote sensing technology using radar waves to measure and monitor ground movement, which can provide valuable insights into the stability and safety of infrastructure. This is also particularly useful for detecting subtle changes in the ground, such as subsidence or other deformations and displacements, which can indicate …
Launched March 13th, 2023. This mini-MOOC will look at how Earth Observation (EO) data can be used for International Development Assistance (IDA). Imperative Space, commissioned by ESA, has created this MOOC in cooperation with the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, and client countries. The MOOC will teach you how EO data, applications, and capabilities are …
The objective of ROAD-DL service is to provide road condition assessment based on remote sensing data. The service aims to provide up to date classification of specific features related with road condition that could trigger inspection or maintenance actions. Specifically, the service ingest Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Sentinel-1 satellite images, provided by ESA through the …
Welcome to the online course Land in Focus. Watch the trailer here. This MOOC is a series of online learning materials that will give you insights on the potential of remote sensing technologies for applications over land surfaces. The courses are free, and only require registration. The first content of the series is the core content, …
This course will provide an introduction to optical Earth observation – monitoring our planet from satellites, using photography, imaging in various wavelengths, lidar and other optical sensing technologies. You’ll find out how satellite data is acquired and used, the range of data types available, and the terminology and techniques involved. The course will also provide …
