The objective of the call is to provide a framework to rapidly respond to new innovative ideas. The scope of the call covers elements of Block 4 of Future EO-1 Segment 1. The particular focus for innovative activities under each element is as follows: Grand Science Challenges EO for a Resilient Society Artificial Intelligence for …
This activity responds to the following drivers: This ITT is part of the ESA Atlantic Regional Initiative aiming at providing a dedicated response to the community recommendations collected at the Atlantic from Space Workshop organised by ESA in January 2019. Activities resulting from this ITT will be an integral part of the ESA Ocean Science …
Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Carlo Arosio. The stratospheric ozone layer suffered a significant decline at the end of the 20th century as a consequence of anthropogenic emissions of halogenated substances. An ozone recovery has been predicted for the current century in response to the actions taken under the Montreal Protocol and …
Carlo is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bremen, in Germany. He completed his Master degree at the University of Bologna, Italy, in 2014, investigating the cloud signatures in the Far-Infrared spectral region from observations performed on the Antarctic Plateau. Afterwards he moved to the University of Bremen for a PhD in environmental physics, …
The polar regions have experienced the most rapid rates of warming in recent years. Expected consequences due to this warming include the loss of sea ice, threats to wildlife, increased emissions and extreme weather. In response to this, ESA and the European Commission have come together to organise the first-ever European Polar Science Week dedicated …
A new online course is about to be launched to introduce the role of satellite Earth observation (EO) technology in monitoring the Earth’s Cryosphere: it is for decision-makers, policy-makers, educators, communicators and anybody interested in learning more about monitoring glaciers, sea ice, ice caps, and areas of snow from space. Learn more on the MOOC …
Cassandra is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bordeaux and Laboratory of Astrophysics of Bordeaux (LAB), in France, currently working the SENTINELNAMIB project. She previously completed her PhD in September 2019 at the University of Bordeaux, entitled “Contribution of high resolution spatial remote sensing for the study of surface water cycles and suspended particulate …
Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Cassandra Normandin. In the context of the ESA BIOMASS Earth Explorer mission, the Namib Desert was selected as a test site to assess the performance of P-band SAR for subsurface imaging in arid environments. In cooperation with the Gobabeb Research and Training Centre, a study of the paleo-hydrology of …
This event will be held online. The overall objective of the European Polar Science Week is to bring together the European Polar science community, and reinforce European cooperation for Polar Science. More specifically, the Polar Science Week will aim to: Identifying major Polar scientific challenges, observation gaps and research needs for the coming years ; Define major …
Ocean currents are a key component to understanding many oceanic and climatic phenomena and furthermore the knowledge we have of them is crucial for navigation and operational applications. Therefore, a key problem in oceanography is the estimation of the synoptic (or “big picture”, large-scale, simultaneous conditions over a broad area) velocity field. Thanks to satellite …
