The ocean annually absorbs about a quarter of all anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. A recently published paper, partially outcome of the Atlantic Meridional Transect Ocean Flux from satellite campaign (AMT4OceanSatFlux) project, reveals that accounting for vertical temperature gradients near the ocean surface significantly increases estimates of oceanic CO₂ absorption, potentially impacting global carbon budgets. …

A new paper has been recently published on PNAS Nexus as a result of the work of two Living Planet Fellows, John Gittings with his POSEIDON project and Joan Llort with the PYROPLANKTON activity. The research explores the linkages between global warming, desertification, dust emissions and ocean fertilisation. In particular, the study shows that dust …
Two scientists working on ESA-funded research projects have recently been honoured with prestigious international awards for their exceptional contributions to Earth science and remote sensing. Felix Gerick, from CNES and the Royal Observatory of Belgium, was awarded the prestigious Doornbos Memorial Prize during the Study of the Earth’s Deep Interior (SEDI) conference, held in Great …
As a part of the on-going joint ESA-NASA AMPAC initiative, ESA organised a training course in collaboration with NASA, the Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System (SIOS) and the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS). The course brought 22 students and multiple lecturers from all over the world to Longyearbyen, Svalbard to teach about understanding methane …
The European Space Agency (ESA) is organising an Earth Observation (EO) training course in collaboration with the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and the Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System, SIOS.
