SMOWS: Satellite Mode Waters Salinity, in synergy with Temperature and Sea Level
Prime company: CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE (CNRS) (FR)Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Audrey Hasson. Mode waters (MWs) transport a large volume of heat, carbon and other properties across basins at seasonal to longer time-scales and thus play a major role in the modulation of the Earth climate. In the context of anthropogenic global warming, unlocking the understanding of the MWs transport …

Remote Sensing of Environment special issue
The Science and Applications with Sentinel-2 special issue of Remote Sensing of Environment has been completed with the last paper published on 5 April 2019. It features a selection of 28 key papers covering a wide range of new applications monitoring natural and human-induced dynamic processes up to national and even continental scale at high-resolution. …
Blockchain and Earth Observation – 2019
White paper defining the key potential focus areas for the adoption of blockchain in the EO community. Released in April 2019.
Blockchain and Earth Observation: a white paper
Blockchain technology is often referred to as having a revolutionary potential for transforming the future of global markets. The industry leaders and policymakers across different sectors of the economy, and in public policy, have launched many initiatives (including dedicated innovation hubs) to investigate the potential of blockchain for financial and non-financial applications. Areas of interest …
Mapping and characterization of unstable slopes with Sentinel-1 multigeometry InSAR
Prime company: NORTHERN RESEARCH INSTITUTE (NORUT) (NO)Being a mountainous country, with long fjords and steep valley sides, Norway is particularly susceptible to large rock avalanches. In the last 100 years, over 170 people have been killed by tsunamis in fjords caused by large rock avalanches. In each case, the rock avalanche was preceded by many years of slow movement, with acceleration …
Synergetic use of SMOS L1 Data in Sun Flare detection and analysis (SMOS-FLARES)
Prime company: DEIMOS SPACE s.r.l. (RO)The aim of the project is to develop a systematic retrieval of Sun Brightness Temperature in L-Band as measured by the SMOS Mission and analyse its correlation with measurements of solar flares currently used in Space Weather, as GOES X-ray flux. The analysis will also focus on dedicated re-processing activities on selected dates with new …
BIOMASCAT: Assessing vegetation carbon dynamics from multi-decadal spaceborne observations
Prime company: GAMMA REMOTE SENSING AG (CH)Characterization of forest biogeochemical cycles is of paramount importance in Earth system science to understand contemporaneous dynamics and for expanding global land models in order to predict future trends of vegetation and climate. Thanks to the increasing amount of spaceborne observations of land and ocean surfaces, data-driven models are revealing intriguing trends and mechanisms and …
Gravitational Seismology
Prime company: UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DI MILANO (IT)This project analyses the extent to which tectonic processes at plate boundaries give rise to changes that can be detected as variations in gravitational acceleration. The requirements for sensitivity are now being fed into preparatory studies for future gravity measurement missions.
