4DANTARCTICA
Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH (GB)Ice sheets are a key component of the Earth system, impacting on global sea level, ocean circulation and bio-geochemical processes. Significant quantities of liquid water are being produced and transported at the ice sheet surface, base, and beneath its floating sections, and this water is in turn interacting with the ice sheet itself. Surface meltwater …
GammaCloud: Feasiblity of using S1 Terrain Flattened Gamma_0 backscatter across EO platforms
Prime company: EODC EARTH OBSERVATION DATA CENTRE FOR WATER RESOURCES MONITORING (AT)The project prototyped a prototype of a processing workflow for improved Sentinel-1 backscatter data, providing a temporal stack of analysis ready data (ARD) that can be integrated into a data cube system allowing to access the data in a spatial and temporal domain.
Mapping the faults of 2019 California earthquakes jointly using the Copernicus Sentinel 1 & 2 missions
A strong earthquake of Mw 7.1 struck southern California, United States on July 6, 2019 preceded by another earthquake of Mw 6.4 on July 4. This was the strongest earthquake in California since the 1999 Mw 7.1 Hector Mine earthquake. The earthquake sequence took place on a remote and sparsely inhabited area of California, limiting …
InSAR Short-Time-Series for Land Cover Classification
Interferometric (InSAR) short-time-series of Sentinel-1 SAR data acquired over central Europe were exploited in a new approach for the generation of large-scale thematic maps. Temporal features, extracted from the evolution of the interferometric coherence, together with backscatter, were used as input for a machine learning-based classifier. Three land cover classes were extracted: artificial surfaces, forests, …
Snow avalanche detection and monitoring with Sentinel-1
Incomplete avalanche activity datasets introduce uncertainty to avalanche forecasting Roughly 150-250 people die each year in avalanche accidents. Infrastructure loss and costs from evacuations and road closures and the use of active and permanent mitigation measures amount to large economic costs. Regional avalanche forecasting is an active mitigation measure that informs the public of …
SHRED: Sentinel-1 for High REsolution monitoring of vegetation Dynamics
Prime company: TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITAT WIEN (TU WIEN) (AT)Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Mariette Vreugdenhil. Through its role in the global water-, carbon- and energy cycles, vegetation is a key control in land surface processes and land-atmosphere interactions. Vegetation is strongly affected by variability in climate drivers like temperature, radiation and water availability. Vegetation phenology, the timing of vegetation phases, …
Ocean Virtual Laboratory
Prime company: OCEANDATALAB (FR)The aimof this activity is To exploit the synergy between Sentinel instruments and other mission EO datasets together with in situ measurements in complex waters and improve scientific understanding of ocean and coastal processes and impacts.The main objective of the project is to develop a virtual plateform to allow oceanographers to discover the existence and …
