Living Planet Fellowship workshop 2020
The annual Living Planet Fellowship workshop took place online on 03 December. On this occasion, the Living Planet Fellows presented their research projects and their scientific results, exchanged ideas and interacted with ESA scientists, fellows and YGTs, showcasing scientific exploitation of Copernicus Sentinels, ESA Earth Explorers, the long-term series of ESA data archives, as well …
Stratospheric ozone from limb observations: validation of the profiles, evaluation of trends and their dynamical and chemical drivers (SOLVE)
Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF BREMEN (DE)Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Carlo Arosio. The stratospheric ozone layer suffered a significant decline at the end of the 20th century as a consequence of anthropogenic emissions of halogenated substances. An ozone recovery has been predicted for the current century in response to the actions taken under the Montreal Protocol and …

“What I greatly appreciated about the fellowship was ESA’s flexibility and support, especially during COVID-19 times, which made it possible to adapt the schedule and adjust some of the foreseen objectives according to the project development. The fellowship gave me the opportunity to independently manage a project for the first time and encouraged the collaboration …

“I began my post-doc in September 2020, just after the big COVID crisis. Despite this, I could meet other ESA fellows and researchers (especially from ESA) during the Living Planet Symposium in May 2022, which was a great experience!” After the end of the Living Planet Fellowship, Cassandra was doing a post-doc of 2 …

Prime company: UNIVERSITE DE BORDEAUX (FR)Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Cassandra Normandin. In the context of the ESA BIOMASS Earth Explorer mission, the Namib Desert was selected as a test site to assess the performance of P-band SAR for subsurface imaging in arid environments. In cooperation with the Gobabeb Research and Training Centre, a study of the paleo-hydrology of …
OCEANUS: OCEAN sUrface reconstruction from the synergy of Sentinel 3 observations
Ocean currents are a key component to understanding many oceanic and climatic phenomena and furthermore the knowledge we have of them is crucial for navigation and operational applications. Therefore, a key problem in oceanography is the estimation of the synoptic (or “big picture”, large-scale, simultaneous conditions over a broad area) velocity field. Thanks to satellite …
Spring melt pond fraction and sea ice in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago
Arctic sea ice extent during the summer months has declined considerably over the satellite record. Surface melt ponds, which form on sea ice during the spring, play an important role in the decay of sea ice and seasonal reduction in ice extent because they influence how much solar radiation is absorbed into the sea ice-ocean …
