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 …
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 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, …
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 …
“I want to express my gratitude to the LFP programme and my managers in particular. The kind support I have received during these 24 months has been fundamental to the success of PYROPLANKTON in a particularly complex period at home regarding the work-family balance. I also strongly appreciate the programme’s genuine interest in supporting fundamental …
Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Joan Llort. In recent years, exceptionally large wildfires have been recorded in Australia, California, the Mediterranean region, and the Arctic. While there exists an established research effort on how Climate Change is leading these megafires and on how they are affecting land ecosystems, recent observations show that …
Over the last decades, greenhouse gases and aerosol concentrations have been increasing in the atmosphere, disrupting the balance in the Earth system between incoming and outgoing radiation fluxes. Part of the outgoing longwave radiation being blocked, the system has reemitted less energy towards space than it has received from the Sun. This imbalance at the …
Welcome to the online course Winter, Water, Warming: Canadian SAR Applications. Watch the trailer here. This course will introduce you to how Canadians research, develop and utilize radar remote sensing technology for mapping and environmental monitoring. In five brief lessons, you will learn about early developments of radar leading to the Canadian RADARSAT program and …
The ESA Ocean Science Cluster involves a set of different ESA-funded scientific activities addressing different aspects of Ocean research. Through this set of projects ESA aims at working hand by hand with the scientific community to: Improve our observation capacity of the global Ocean and contribute to develop the next generation of Ocean observations from …
Primary productivity in upwelling systems (PRIMUS) aims to provide the best possible characterisation of net primary productivity (NPP) and its relationship to upwelling in Atlantic Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS). Funded through ESA’s Regional Initiative, PRIMUS will produce a 25-year time series of 1-km NPP in all Atlantic EBUS, and experimentally, at higher-resolution (300m) using …
