Assessment of wave energy resource in the European and Mediterranean coastal zones using high resolution altimetry products – WAPOSAL

Prime company: INSTITUTO SUPERIOR TECNICO (PT)

The project’s primary objective is to evaluate the potential of wave renewable energy sources in coastal zones of Europe, Mediterranean and archipelagos where the energy can be efficiently harnessed. To achieve this objective, the project is processing the whole CryoSat, Sentinel-3A, and Sentinel-3B missions data over specific coastal zones and using the advanced SAMOSA+ retracker …

MEDICANES

Prime company: CNR-ISAC – INSTITUTE OF ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES AND CLIMATE (IT)

Among the most prominent hydrometeorological risks in the Mediterranean region is the occurrence of medicanes, namely storm-systems that attain the structural characteristics of actual tropical cyclones. Medicanes have been widely documented to inflict important socio-economic impacts in the region. Therefore, the overarching objective of this project is to address these catastrophic systems in an integrated …

From space to soil

Soil sealing, caused by urban development, poses serious environmental threats, from flooding to biodiversity loss, to exacerbated urban heat island effects. Soil sealing maps – at 10m resolution – along the entire Mediterranean coastline, spanning the period 2018-2022, have been generated from Sentinel-2 data within the Ulysses project, a Mediterranean Regional Initiative Land activity. In …

4DMED-SEA

Prime company: CNR-INSTITUTE OF MARINE SCIENCES-ISMAR (IT)

The objective of the 4DMED-SEA project is to develop a data-driven, 4D reconstruction of the Mediterranean Sea physical and biogeochemical state, exploit this information to further improve our understanding of the complex interactions between physical and biological processes at a broad range of temporal and spatial scales and explore options to transfer that knowledge into …

eXperimental jOint inveRsioN

Prime company: GEOMATICS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (IT)

The Earth crust represents less than 1% of the volume of our planet but is exceptionally important as it preserves the signs of the geological events that shaped the Earth. This thin layer is the place where the natural resources we need can be accessed (e.g. minerals, critical raw materials, geothermal energy, fresh water, hydrocarbons). …

4DMED-Hydrology

Prime company: CNR-RESEARCH INSTITUTE FOR GEO-HYDROLOGICAL PROTECTION – IRPI (IT)

4DMED-Hydrology aims at developing an advanced, high-resolution, and consistent reconstruction of the Mediterranean terrestrial water cycle by using the latest developments of Earth Observation (EO) data as those derived from the ESA-Copernicus missions. In particular, by exploiting previous ESA initiatives, 4DMED-Hydrology intends: to demonstrate how this EO capacity can help to describe the interactions between …
