Enhanced Satellite Derived Bathymetry (SDB) with Sentinel-2
Thanks to the work performed within the Sentinel coastal charting worldwide project, the effectiveness of Sentinel-2 data for bathymetry mapping has been proven. Read the full story.

This project complements on-going activities and other activities started under this call for proposals by focussing on optimising the techniques for the detection of marine litter in SAR data. This complements the use of optical data and modelling in order to progressively build up an integrated picture as to how marine litter (and marine plastics …
The advent, with Sentinel-2, of a satellite constellation offering High Resolution (HR), high revisit time and free images has raised encouraging hopes amongst Coastal States and the Maritime community of Users who, in 2018, still suffer from the persistence of inaccurate nautical charts. These expectations however did not materialise because the Government agencies in charge …
One of the advantages of constellations of EO satellites is the capability to observe areas or features of interest more often than a conventional satellite would allow. However this usually requires rapid tasking of follow-on satellites based on information collected from a lead satellite. This “Tipping and cueing” is critical to ensuring an effective monitoring …
The current knowledge of the water circulation in the Baltic Sea comes essentially from in situ observations and models. The Baltic+ SEAL (Sea Level) Project aims at providing a consistent description of the sea level variability in the Baltic Sea area in terms of seasonal and inter-annual variation and put the results in relationship with …
The main objective of the Earth System Data Lab (ESDL) project is to establish and operate a service to the scientific community that greatly facilitates access and exploitation of the multivariate data set in the ESDL and by this means advances the understanding of the interactions between the ocean-land-atmosphere system and society. To this end, …
The objective of this contract is to develop and demonstrate a portfolio of EO based information services that can be embedded into a critical mass of investment projects funded by International Development Banks which address marine and coastal issues. The main focus will be information services addressing coastal dynamics (bathymetry, coastal erosion, sedimentation), coastal environment …
