Combining a Stochastic LAgrangian Model of Marine Particles with ESA’s Big Data to Understand the Effects of a ChaNging Ocean on the PlanKtonic Food Web (SLAM DUNK)

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD (GB)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Anna Rufas. The oceans, a major sink of carbon dioxide (CO2), rely on a set of food web processes that generate gravitational sinking particles to transfer CO2 from the atmosphere to the deep ocean. These processes are collectively known as the biological carbon pump (BCP) and have become a …

SPectroscopy In The Far InfraREd: Reducing uncertainties in spectroscopic line parameters for ESA’s FORUM mission (SPITFIRE)

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF LEICESTER (GB)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Daniel Coxon. The upcoming ESA FORUM (Far-infrared Outgoing Radiation Understanding and Monitoring) mission will be the first to measure the Earth’s spectrally resolved outgoing longwave radiation in the far-infrared (FIR) at high spectral resolution. This spectral region is responsible for over half of the Earth’s emissions to space, with …

Reference data for Improved Sar-based fOresT waTer Observations (RISOTTO)

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF TWENTE (NL)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Paul Vermunt. During drought, water deficit depletes tree water content, which can lead to water stress mortality, vulnerability to wildfires and increased susceptibility to insect and pathogen attacks. Widespread tree mortality could be triggered by increased drought frequency, such as expected in Europe, which can lead to disrupting the …

Monitoring Atmospheric Anomalies from Space: A Topological Approach (MAASTA)

Prime company: FINNISH METEOROLOGICAL INSTITUTE (FI)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Laia Amoros. Carbon dioxide (CO₂) has experienced an alarming increase since the Industrial Revolution due to anthropogenic factors like fossil fuel combustion and deforestation. Before the Industrial Revolution, atmospheric CO₂ levels were relatively stable, around 280 parts per million (ppm). By the 21st century, human activities have increased CO₂ …

INTEGRATED REMOTE SENSING FOR BIODIVERSITY-ECOSYSTEM FUNCTION (IRS4BEF)

Prime company: AGENCIA ESTATAL CONSEJO SUPERIOR DE (ES)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Javier Pacheco. IRS4BEF  seeks to optimise the integration of multi-source remote sensing imagery to quantify plant functional diversity at site scale (e.g., eddy covariance station) and assess Biodiversity-Ecosystem Function relationships. The underlying hypothesis is that missions providing spectral information of different domains could be more informative of the role …
