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

Prime company: GAMMA REMOTE SENSING AG (CH)

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 vegetation status are imperative to meet the needs …

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

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF TWENTE (NL)

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 provision of important ecosystem services and increased carbon …

Environmental Crimes workshop 2024

June 11 @ 09:00 - June 12 @ 17:00 UTC+2
ESA-ESRIN, Largo Galileo Galilei, 1
Frascati, RM 00044 Italy

Background Environmental crime is growing at annual rates of 5% to 7% globally. Countering environmental crime is complex  as it is often perpetrated by criminal organizations operating across borders. It also spans a broad range of activities, such as illegal waste management and shipment, illegal logging and trade in timber, illegal water abstraction, pollution, habitats …

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 …
