ESA Digital Twin Earth Components: Open Science Meeting

February 3, 2025 - February 5, 2025
ESA-ESRIN, Largo Galileo Galilei, 1
Frascati, RM 00044 Italy

Responding to the unprecedented ‘triple crisis’ of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, requires a quantum leap in the way we observe, understand and predict the dynamic evolution of the Earth system and its complex interactions with human activities and ecosystems. Digital Twins have recently emerged as potential solutions to address these needs. The ESA …

Smouldering woody debris fuels air pollution over the Amazon

Groundbreaking results published today in Nature Geoscience reveal that fire emissions in the Amazon and Cerrado biomes are largely driven by the smouldering combustion of woody debris. The research, conducted within the framework of the SENSE4FIRE project, highlights how fuel characteristics, such as dead wood, play a critical role in fire emissions. By integrating satellite …

Identification of major persistent methane source regions

The anthropogenic emissions of methane (CH4), after those of carbon dioxide (CO2), are the second most important man-made source of greenhouse gases contributing to global warming. Over a 20-year timescale, each kilogram of methane emitted has a global warming potential more than 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Reducing methane emissions would help to …

Improved Southern Ocean tidal predictions with the ALBATROSS model

A recently published paper, titled ALBATROSS: Advancing Southern Ocean Tide Modelling with High Resolution and Enhanced Bathymetry, introduces an advanced tidal model specifically tailored to the unique dynamics of the Southern Ocean and Antarctic regions. This research is the outcome of the ALBATROSS project, and combines high-resolution bathymetry data from the reprocessing of a decade-long CryoSat-2 …
