Extreme heat weakens land’s power to absorb carbon
A recent study, outcome of the research under the Carbon-RO1: NRT Extremes project, highlights a significant decline in the land carbon sink in 2023, a year marked by record-breaking global temperatures and severe climate events. The research team found that the CO₂ growth rate soared to 3.37 parts per million (ppm) at Mauna Loa Observatory, …
8th edition of the DLR/ESA open PolinSAR training course 2024
November 4, 2024 - February 7, 2025
This PolInSAR course is an online, hands-on course that aims to develop an understanding of the information content of multi-parameter SAR data in an interactive way, without assuming any prior/background knowledge – though some knowledge in Python programming is welcome. It is organised around 11 sessions over 11 weeks, with lectures and tutorials ranging from SAR image formation up …
How marine heatwaves impact phytoplankton and ocean health
A new study published in Geophysical Research Letters, and outcome of the CAREHeat project research, reveals how winter marine heatwaves (MHWs) in the North-Western Mediterranean Sea inhibit the spring bloom of phytoplankton, a critical element of the ocean’s ecosystem. Conducted by a team from the National Research Council of Italy (CNR-ISMAR) and other international collaborators, …
