HI-FIVE: High-Resolution Forest Coverage with InSAR & Deforestation Surveillance

Prime company: DLR – GERMAN AEROSPACE CENTER (DE)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Francescopaolo Sica. Forests are of paramount importance for the Earth’s ecosystem, since they play a key-role in reducing the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and in controlling climate changes. The study of deforestation and development of global forest coverage and biomass is fundamental for assessing …

WIFT: Water vapour Isotopologues From TROPOMI

Prime company: Netherlands Institute for Space Research (NWO-I) (NL)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Andreas Schneider. The role of atmospheric water vapour in the hydrological cycle, the atmospheric circulation, and the radiation and energy budgets is largely uncertain. Improving knowledge on these is one of the key challenges in atmospheric sciences and of great importance for projections of climate change. Measurements …

The ionospheric signature of auroral and subauroral fast flows

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF SASKATCHEWAN (CA)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by William Edward Archer. The European Space Agency Swarm satellite mission is advancing the cutting edge of ionospheric space physics. Combined high-resolution measurements of electron density, electron temperature, and electric and magnetic fields provide a robust picture of the electrodynamics of this energetic region. We will leverage the …

MULTI-FLEX: towards a strategy for fluorescence monitoring at multiple scales within the context of the FLEX/S-3 tandem mission

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF MILANO BICOCCA (IT)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Marco Celesti. The future FLEX/Sentinel-3 tandem mission will provide unique information on vegetation dynamics by exploiting Sun-induced fluorescence and reflectance at the unprecedented spatial scale of 300m x 300m. This magnified view into the photosynthetic machinery will enhance our ability to face the actual and future challenges …

Bas Altena

“The Fellowship was my first independent project, which I perceived it as an encouragement to innovate and explore new avenues”   After the end of the Living Planet Fellowship, Bas got another research grant and continued working on optical remote sensing of glacier change, though along the way he discovered more opportunities exist, and has …

Francescopaolo Sica

“Being an ESA fellow has been a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The Living Planet Fellowship allowed me to achieve my research goals, deepening my technical and scientific knowledge and strengthening my international cooperation. I benefitted from the direct interaction with ESA scientists, other ESA fellows, and end-users. I strongly recommend it to aspiring fellows, and I am …

Chaotic ocean variability can mask regional sea level trends

Regional sea level trends present large spatial patterns caused by natural variability (changes in winds, air-sea flux etc.) along with anthropogenic influences in the atmosphere. These sea level trends can be partially masked by random oceanic processes. Global mean sea level rise is one of the most direct consequences of the on-going global warming. Based …
