Antarctic glacier caught stealing ice from neighbour

In a surprising discovery, scientists have observed a glacier in West Antarctica rapidly diverting ice from its neighboring glacier, a phenomenon dubbed “ice piracy.” This significant shift, previously believed to occur over millennia, has occurred in less than two decades. The study, led by researchers from the University of Leeds and published in The Cryosphere, …

RADAR ALERTS FOR MANGROVE MONITORING (RAMM)

Prime company: HATFIELD CONSULTANTS (CA)

The RAMM project (Radar Alerts for Mangrove Monitoring) objective is to develop a system that provides monthly mangrove forest change alerts to support end users in mangrove protection, conservation, restoration, and management, complementing an existing optical image detection system with radar alerts from Sentinel-1 time series. The approach will be implemented in the Global Mangrove …

Global vegetation monitoring from active and passive microwave sensors (GVMAP)

Prime company: GAMMA REMOTE SENSING AG (CH)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Samuel Favrichon. Vegetation is a central component of the Earth’s system, governing surface water exchanges and constituting one of the largest terrestrial carbon reservoirs. Ongoing disturbances, whether natural or human-induced, combined with the impacts of changing climate, induce rapid alterations on a global scale. Accurate and consistent assessments of …

Reference data for Improved Sar-based fOresT waTer Observations (RISOTTO)

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF TWENTE (NL)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Paul Vermunt. During drought, water deficit depletes tree water content, which can lead to water stress mortality, vulnerability to wildfires and increased susceptibility to insect and pathogen attacks. Widespread tree mortality could be triggered by increased drought frequency, such as expected in Europe, which can lead to disrupting the …
