Ground Deformation from Meteorological, Seismic and Anthropogenic Changes Analysed by Remote Sensing, Geomatic Experiments and Extended Reality – GERMANE

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF LIEGE (BE)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Romy Schlögel and Karolina Owczarz. Within this project we intend to analyse ground deformation hazards induced by meteorological changes and seismotectonic conditions in eastern Belgium, western Germany and the south-eastern Netherlands. Thus, its outcomes should also be of interest for the ongoing Interreg project Einstein Telescope EMR Site & …

Examining GReenland’s Ice Marginal Lakes under a changing climate (GRIML)

Prime company: GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF DENMARK AND GREENLAND (DK)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Penelope How. Sea level is predicted to rise drastically by 2100, with significant contribution from the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet. In these predictions, melt runoff is assumed to contribute directly to sea level change, with little consideration for meltwater storage at the terrestrial margin of …

S14SCIENCE AMAZONAS

Prime company: GISAT S.R.O. (CZ)

PROJECT GOALS The dense spatial and temporal coverage of the Amazon basin with Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar scenes has opened vast potential for capturing the complexity in tropical forest loss and regrowth. Sentinel-1 for Science Amazonas aims to: Develop, test and validate an operational-level Multi-temporal forest Change Detection (MCD) algorithm, Estimate carbon loss and gain …

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 …

Monitoring, Measurement, Reporting and Verification System for Cocoa sector in the Dominican Republic

Prime company: GMV NSL LTD (GB)

The MRV4C project, developing a Monitoring, Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) System for cocoa agroforestry in the Dominican Republic (DR) was a 1-year activity funded by the European Space Agency through the Open Call funding opportunity, addressing activity line 6, “EO for Sustainable Development”, of the ESA EO SCIENCE FOR SOCIETY programme. The aim of …

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 (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 …
