Satellite magnetic field observations have the potential to provide information on dynamics, heat content and salinity throughout the ocean. It is well established that the ocean generates a time-varying magnetic field that depends on its motions and electrical conductivity structure. With ten years of high quality observations available from the Swarm satellite trio, and with …
Oceans play a crucial role in regulating the Earth’s climate by absorbing heat and carbon dioxide, but this leads to ocean acidification and alterations in temperature, circulation, and weather patterns, affecting marine ecosystems and global climate. Satellites have become essential tools for monitoring ocean health. Recent research, highlighted in a paper published in Earth Science …
As a third project in the EO for Ocean Acidification pathway, the objectives of the current efforts are: (i) to advance the scientific state-of-the-art in Ocean Acidification and its impact on marine life and ecosystems; (ii) to develop the next generation of EO-based products by capitalizing on the synergistic opportunities offered by the increasing fleet …
“The Living Planet Fellowship was a very good experience for me. In addition to understanding how to set up a research project, I was able to benefit from a great freedom in my research.” After the end of the Living Planet Fellowship, Alice was working as a Science Support Specialist at Serco.
Despite their global coverage and public availability, measurements of water quality parameters retrieved by remote sensing have not been used for local short-term forecasting of water quality yet. In fact, forecasting based on remote sensing water quality products with on-ground resolution from, say, 30 m (Sentinel-2 MSI, Landsat-8/9 OLI) to 300 m (Sentinel-3A/B OLCI) or …
A healthy ocean regulates Earth’s climate and mitigates climate changes by absorbing heat and human-induced CO2 emissions. It serves also as a significant service provider supporting marine ecosystems’ integrity and resilience, and providing resources. Maintaining a healthy ocean is thus key for a sustainable life on Earth. With the rising of atmospheric CO2 concentration, ocean’s …
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 …

The European Space Agency, in coordination with Agenția Spațială Română (ROSA), is organising the Earth Explorer 11 User Consultation Meeting on 10-11 October, 2023 in Bucharest, Romania. The Meeting will take place at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Bucharest city centre. Objectives The ESA Earth Explorer 11 (EE11) User Consultation Meeting (UCM) is a …
The purpose of this training course was to train the next generation of Earth Observation scientists in Croatia and beyond. This training course was organised jointly by the European Space Agency (ESA), Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology Osijek (FERIT), Croatia and Ministry of Science and Education of the Republic of Croatia (MZO). The course …
