EC-ESA JOINT EARTH SYSTEM SCIENCE INITIATIVE

November 22, 2023 - November 24, 2023
ESA-ESRIN, Largo Galileo Galilei, 1
Frascati, RM 00044 Italy

In the next decades, population growth is expected to amplify current pressures on critical resources such as fresh water or food, intensify the stress on land and marine ecosystems and increase environmental pollution and its impacts on health and biodiversity. Global warming and the increasing impacts of climate change, especially on most vulnerable populations, will …

HyperBOOST

Prime company: Plymouth Marine Laboratory (GB)

In situ bio-optical datasets are essential for the assessment of the uncertainties of satellite ocean colour measurements and derived products. This is especially critical in coastal waters (between 200m and 5km distance from the coastline), where land adjacency effects, complex atmospheric aerosol mixtures, high loads of optically active components in particular high concentration of chromophoric …

PACIFIC

Prime company: CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE (CNRS) (FR)

Global mean sea level (GMSL) is considered one of the leading indicators of global climate change as it reflects changes taking place in different components of the climate system. Present-day sea level rise and its acceleration, currently estimated by high-precision satellite altimetry measurements, are primarily driven by anthropogenic global warming, more specifically by ocean warming-induced …
