Mass balance and ice dynamics of Antarctic Peninsula glaciers (MIT-AP)

Prime company: Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erl (DE)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Thorsten Seehaus. Pronounced climatic changes have been observed at the Antarctic Peninsula within the past decades and its glaciers and ice caps have been identified as a significant contributor to global sea level rise. Dynamic thinning and speed-up was reported for various tidewater glaciers on the western Antarctic Peninsula. …

VMDL: Volcano Monitoring using Deep Learning

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS, SCHOOL OF EARTH AND ENVIRONMENT (GB)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Matthew Gaddes. The Earth’s subaerial volcanoes pose a variety of threats to humanity, yet the vast majority remain unmonitored.  However, with the advent of the latest synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites, interferometric SAR (InSAR) has evolved into a tool that can be used to monitor the majority …

FORESTSCAN

Prime company: UCL CONSULTANTS LTD (GB)

ESA’s upcoming Biomass mission will deliver valuable P-band SAR data aimed at forest aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation across the humid tropics. Additionally, the current NASA GEDI mission on the International Space Station (LiDAR), the NASA NISAR and JAXA ALOS-4 (L-band SAR) will widen our possibilities to estimate AGB from space. However, all these missions rely on …

SEN3GCP – Sentinel for 3D Ground Control Point

Prime company: Planetek Italia (IT)

SEN3GCP is conceived as a service that will provide  GCPs (Ground Control Points) and precise co-registration of EO products as an automated service accessible via the web and API. The service will be based on a global database of GCPs that is derived from SAR imagery (3D coordinates including height information) and for which corresponding …

SAR2CUBE

Prime company: EURAC RESEARCH – ACCADEMIA EUROPEA (IT)

One of the biggest entry level hurdles for integrating SAR data into modern earth observation analysis chains, is still the complexity of the data itself. Opposed to optical or multi-spectral data, which relates much more directly to the way human vision works and is hence more natural to interpret, SAR registers signals that are not …

Independent Component Analysis of Satellite Radar Imagery for Volcanic Processes – IMRICA extension

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS, SCHOOL OF EARTH AND ENVIRONMENT (GB)

Satellite Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) is a powerful Earth Observation tool for the analysis of subaerial volcanic deformation – a parameter that is critical both for monitoring hazardous volcanic systems and for understanding magma storage in the shallow crust. The long duration and consistent acquisition strategy of ESA’s Sentinel-1 mission as part of the …

MULTI ACTOR FOREST INFORMATION SERVICE (MAFIS)

Prime company: GMATICS SRL (IT)

The MAFIS project will develop and demonstrate at pre-operational level a service aimed at providing consistent and statistically reliable information on forests, by combining multi-spectral satellite data and SAR data, to monitor natural and planted forests growth and forest losses due to human activities or to natural phenomena. The project will develop a specific methodology …
