FFSAR – Coastal Fully Focused SAR Altimetry and Innovative River Level Gauges for Coastal Monitoring

Prime company: SATELLITE OCEANOGRAPHIC CONSULTANTS LTD. (GB)

Fully Focused (FF) SAR Coastal [FFSAR-Coastal] is a project funded by ESA to apply the Fully Focussed SAR altimetry processor on Sentinel-3 data and evaluate its potential to make a significant new contribution to coastal and estuarine monitoring systems, when coupled with innovative water level gauges for validation. Two different environments will be considered: The …

A NEW ONE…Understanding Climate Change using Satellite Data

Satellites provide crucial, and increasingly important, information to help understand our changing climate. However, better understanding Earth observation data can be a daunting task for new users. A new online course, developed by the University of Twente, on behalf of ESA, helps students, researchers and other professionals analyse satellite data to help measure and mitigate …

deteCtion and threAts of maRinE Heat waves (CAREHeat)

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

Oceans are responsible for absorbing circa 90% of the Earth’s heat budget and 30% of the human-induced carbon emissions. While anthropogenic forcing (i.e., the rising of atmospheric CO2 concentration) is leading to the global warming of the climate system, the full disclosure of its role in all the physical processes involved in these changes still …

Biodiversity in the Open Ocean: Mapping, Monitoring and Modelling (BOOMS)

Prime company: Plymouth Marine Laboratory (GB)

Increasing pressure due to anthropogenic drivers is leading to a reduction of global biodiversity and its associated benefits at the planetary scale. In open ocean (seafloor depth greater than 200 m) the most important direct drivers of biodiversity loss is fishing and extraction of seafood, with a lesser but rapidly increasing importance of climate change, …

Biodiversity of the Coastal Ocean: Monitoring with Earth observation (BiCOME)

Prime company: Plymouth Marine Laboratory (GB)

Increasing pressure on nature due to anthropogenic drivers is leading to a reduction of global biodiversity and its associated benefits at the planetary scale. In coastal environments, the most important direct drivers of biodiversity loss are fishing, land and sea use, climate change and pollution. These drivers have accelerated in the last 50 years, and …

4DATLANTIC Dust-Ocean Modelling & Observing Study (DOMOS)

Prime company: ECMWF (GB)

The Dust-Ocean Modelling & Observing Study (DOMOS) will advance the understanding of dust and ocean interactions in a changing climate through an innovative use of model and observations. The project will develop a new retrieval of dust deposition from satellite lidar data (CALIPSO and Aeolus), will validate the dust deposition field from the CAMS reanalysis …

Copernicus RUS Training Materials

Running from 2017 to December 2021, the Copernicus Research and User Support (RUS) service aimed to develop an online free-access platform to promote the uptake of Copernicus data and support the scaling up of educational and R&D activities. In particular, the service provided Copernicus data access, cloud computing resources, access to effective software tools and …

Phytoplankton and fisheries under regional warming in the global oceans – POSEIDON

Prime company: NATIONAL AND KAPODISTRIAN UNIVERSIT (GR)

POSEIDON aims to understand the response of ocean ecosystems to climate warming and extreme events (e.g., marine heatwaves). Long-term trends (> 23 years) in phytoplankton ecological indicators (biomass, size structure and phenology) will be analysed in different regions, encompassing a range of conditions found in the global oceans. POSEIDON will further investigate the spatiotemporal variability …

John Gittings

John studied Marine Biology and Oceanography at the University of Plymouth (United Kingdom) (2011 – 2015). During his time in Plymouth, he completed a one-year internship as a research assistant at Plymouth Marine Laboratory, where he developed a keen interest in ocean colour remote sensing and its applications for biological oceanography. Between 2015 and 2021, …

Ocean Carbon from Space Workshop

February 14 - February 18

ESA, together with PML and support from NASA, is organising an Ocean Carbon From Space Workshop, to be held virtually from 14 to 18 February 2022. This workshop is being organised as the second workshop in the CLEO (Colour and Light in the ocean from Earth Observations) Series and is a contribution to the Committee …
