Ocean CIRculation from ocean COLour observations (CIRCOL)

Prime company: CNR – INSTITUTE FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC SENSING OF THE ENVIRONMENT (IREA) (IT)

The monitoring of the oceanic surface currents is a major scientific and socio-economic challenge. Ocean currents represent one of the fundamental elements that modulate natural and anthropogenic processes at several different space and time scales, from global climate change to local dispersal of tracers and pollutants, with relevant impacts on marine ecosystem services and maritime …

Sargassum monitoring service

Prime company: CLS COLLECTE LOCALISATION SATELLITES (FR)

The project objective is to develop and implement an innovative automated service based on Earth Observation (EO) data to monitor floating Sargassum algae in the Caribbean area, estimate their drift and eventual landings on the coasts, and provide dedicated bulletins to the end-users.

Monitoring sargassum drift with Sentinel-3 and MODIS

Since 2011, sargassum rafts of unprecedented size have had been found on Caribbean shores, with a strong impact on tourism, fisheries and wildlife. As sargassum decomposes on beaches, it releases disagreeable odours. Removal is time-consuming and expensive as mats can be several meters thick. Tourists are bothered by sargassum, and incoming rafts smother sea grasses …

Earth Observation for Poverty – EO4Poverty

Prime company: MindEarth (CH)

Poverty is one of the chronic problems of the XXI century and, despite the recent decrease of global economic inequalities between and within countries, in 2016 about 800 million people still lived in extreme poverty condition, with many of them located in sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia. In this context, poverty alleviation programmes generally rely …

Mapping and characterization of unstable slopes with Sentinel-1 multigeometry InSAR

Prime company: NORTHERN RESEARCH INSTITUTE (NORUT) (NO)

Being a mountainous country, with long fjords and steep valley sides, Norway is particularly susceptible to large rock avalanches. In the last 100 years, over 170 people have been killed by tsunamis in fjords caused by large rock avalanches. In each case, the rock avalanche was preceded by many years of slow movement, with acceleration …

Synergetic use of SMOS L1 Data in Sun Flare detection and analysis (SMOS-FLARES)

Prime company: DEIMOS SPACE s.r.l. (RO)

The aim of the project is to develop a systematic retrieval of Sun Brightness Temperature in L-Band as measured by the SMOS Mission and analyse its correlation with measurements of solar flares currently used in Space Weather, as GOES X-ray flux.  The analysis will also focus on dedicated re-processing activities on selected dates with new …

BIOMASCAT: Assessing vegetation carbon dynamics from multi-decadal spaceborne observations

Prime company: GAMMA REMOTE SENSING AG (CH)

Characterization of forest biogeochemical cycles is of paramount importance in Earth system science to understand contemporaneous dynamics and for expanding global land models in order to predict future trends of vegetation and climate. Thanks to the increasing amount of spaceborne observations of land and ocean surfaces, data-driven models are revealing intriguing trends and mechanisms and …
