Broad scope effort, under the umbrella of the EC-ESA joint Earth System Science Initiative (ESSI), to address specific activities in the land-ocean interface, with a specific interest on coastal carbon and dynamics, and also on the deposition of pyrogenic aerosols and their impact on ocean biology. Distinctive focus on high-resolution and multi-modal (EO, modelling, in-situ …
ESA’s EarthCARE satellite is set to launch soon, aiming to advance our understanding of clouds and aerosols and their impact on Earth’s energy balance. In response to urgent climate challenges, the European Commission and ESA have prioritized the science of clouds and aerosols within the Earth System Science Initiative, a coordinated response aligning research efforts …
Understanding the processes driving ice-ocean interactions and their timescale is pivotal in getting a full picture of the Antarctic sensitivity to future climate variability. A recently published study measured 2018-2019 increased speed and discharge of ice and calving front retreat for the Cadman Glacier, and highlighted correlation to a positive temperature anomaly in the upper …
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 Atmosphere Science Cluster – Research Opportunities 4 – European Coordinated Global Methane (CH4) Assessment is established under the Scientific Exploitation component of the FutureEO Programme. It is intended to support innovative scientific development, which responds to research and networking opportunities in the Atmospheric research domain. This activity is part of a coordination initiative between …

It is intended to support innovative scientific development, which responds to research and networking opportunities in the Atmospheric research domain. This activity is part of a coordination …
Back in 2020, ESA and the DG-RTD of the EC signed a collaboration agreement to “jointly advance Earth system science and its contribution to respond to the global challenges that society is facing in the onset of this century”. Such cooperation is implemented by fostering scientific collaboration across European teams and projects and supporting ambitious complementary collaborative activities, funded on …
The ESA Ocean Science Cluster is an emerging concept whose objective is to promote collaborative research among the different projects and scientific activities ESA has been investing in the recent years, with the objective to enhance our observing capability and scientific understanding of the oceans and coastal regions. This new concept is to be supported …
With this ITT ESA aims at exploring the full capacity of the latest EO satellite data, and in particular of the unprecedented wide variety of European satellite Earth observations, to better characterise and understand the drivers and complex underlaying processes leading to high impact multi-hazards with a focus on cascade and compound events as well …
