The objective of the Sen4GPP project is to assess time-space variability of terrestrial gross primary production (GPP) of terrestrial ecosystems by a synergistic exploitation of the complementary information provided by the Sentinel missions (Sentinel-2, Sentinel-3 and Sentinel-5P) at multiple spatial and temporal resolutions, as well as other Earth Observation and in situ data.
This event will take place online. The workshops will be held on the following dates: 10th POLINSAR Workshop: 26-30 April 2021 The event will be accompanied by two side events: – 6th Advanced Course on Radar Polarimetry (dates to be confirmed) – Second Biomass Retrieval Inter-comparison eXperiment – BRIX-2 (dates to be confirmed) The Workshops …
The Glacier Science in the Alps project is part of the Alps Regional Initiative and is aimed at maximising the scientific return of European investments in EO specifically from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 specifically to provide first enhanced observation capacity for glaciers in the Alps beyond area to glacier velocity and end of season snow cover …
Since the start of a new course on Earth Observation (EO), in 2019, at the High Engineering School CentraleSupélec (part of the University Paris-Saclay) the Data Applications Division of ESA’s Earth Observation Science, Applications & Climate Department has contributed with lectures. “The objective of this course – aimed at first year students – was to …
Using a 25-year record of satellite observations over the Getz region in West Antarctica, scientists have discovered that the pace at which glaciers flow towards the ocean is accelerating. This new research, which includes data from the Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission and ESA’s CryoSat mission, will help determine if these glaciers could collapse in the next …
The project focuses on implementing a high-resolution quasi real-time snow monitoring to improve water resource management. It is taking advantage of the recent developments in physically-based snow modelling and is based on high-resolution optical and radar EO missions such as Sentinel-1 and 2. The core service is a snow water equivalent (SWE) product generated using …
A new advanced InSAR processing service called SNAPPING (Surface motioN mAPPING) has just been deployed in the Geohazard Exploitation Platform (GEP). The potential of the service is illustrated in the context of the Samos (Greece) M7.0 seismic event of 30 October 2020. Based on the open source SNAP toolbox and StaMPS software, the …
The European Space Agency and the WorldWater project with support from CNES, NASA, EARSC, CEOS and GEO invite interested parties to express their interest in participating in a Round Robin inter-comparison of inland surface water detection and monitoring algorithms using Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8 imagery. The objective of the Round Robin is to enable …
In a world where public health threats are increasingly challenging, wide availability of EO data, increased computational power and AI untapped potential open new opportunities to create early warning systems and support public authorities in decision making. The AIDEO project explored the use of AI applied to a pool of EO datasets in the context …
Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Cassandra Normandin. In the context of the ESA BIOMASS Earth Explorer mission, the Namib Desert was selected as a test site to assess the performance of P-band SAR for subsurface imaging in arid environments. In cooperation with the Gobabeb Research and Training Centre, a study of the paleo-hydrology of …
