ICE SHEET MASS BALANCE INTERCOMPARISON EXERCISE PHASE III (IMBIE-3)

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS, SCHOOL OF EARTH AND ENVIRONMENT (GB)

The Ice sheet Mass Balance Inter-comparison Exercise (IMBIE) was established in 2011 as a community effort to reconcile satellite measurements of ice sheet mass balance. The purpose of IMBIE is to reduce uncertainties in ice sheet mass balance estimation through community efforts, in order to reconcile different satellite-based measurements of ice sheet mass balance and …

Highlighting the value of SMOS data in space weather applications

ESA’s SMOS mission data is at the forefront of space weather applications, impacting air navigation, solar flare characterization, space weather modeling, and ionospheric electron content mapping. The mission, characterised by its Microwave Imaging Radiometer using Aperture Synthesis (MIRAS) instrument, provides valuable L-band measurements in this context, as demonstrated in the ESA SMOS-Flares project. Practical demonstrations …

Measuring snow and ice properties with Sentinel-3

An improved version of the SICE algorithm retrieving snow and ice properties is described in a recently published paper. It includes the introduction of a new atmospheric correction, retrieval of snow impurity load and properties, retrievals for partially snow-covered ground and also accounting for various thresholds to be used to assess the retrieval quality. The …

A collaboration on Hydrology science just kicked-off

The pressure on water resources is steadily increasing due to population growth and increasing wealth for part of the population. Climate change adds to this pressure, e.g.  through more frequent and intense heat waves and droughts, and also disturbs the water cycle through more frequent floods. In order to tackle such challenges we need to …

Warming ocean causing rapid glacier retreat

Understanding the processes driving ice-ocean interactions and their timescale is pivotal in getting a full picture of the Antarctic sensitivity to future climate variability. A recently published study measured 2018-2019 increased speed and discharge of ice and calving front retreat for the Cadman Glacier, and highlighted correlation to a positive temperature anomaly in the upper …

Alice Carret

“The Living Planet Fellowship was a very good experience for me. In addition to understanding how to set up a research project, I was able to benefit from a great freedom in my research.”   After the end of the Living Planet Fellowship, Alice was working as a Science Support Specialist at Serco.

EC-ESA JOINT EARTH SYSTEM SCIENCE INITIATIVE

November 22, 2023 - November 24, 2023
ESA-ESRIN, Largo Galileo Galilei, 1
Frascati, RM 00044 Italy

In the next decades, population growth is expected to amplify current pressures on critical resources such as fresh water or food, intensify the stress on land and marine ecosystems and increase environmental pollution and its impacts on health and biodiversity. Global warming and the increasing impacts of climate change, especially on most vulnerable populations, will …
