The Black Sea is a region of particular interest in terms of its past and present level of ecological degradation by anthropogenic influences among the European Seas and highly dynamic and complex eddy-driven circulation system. The Black Sea receives drainage from almost one-third of the continental Europe (five times its surface area) which, it is …
Congratulations to Henrik Fisser, whose Truck detection – Sensing trade from space has been awarded the first prize for the European Data Cube COVID-19 edition of the custom script contest. The idea exploits reflectance patterns of long moving vehicles, such as trucks, in Sentinel-2 images. While trucks are essentially too small to be recognised as …
HYDROCOASTAL is a project aimed at maximising the exploitation of SAR and SARIn altimeter measurements in the coastal zone and inland waters, by evaluating and implementing new approaches to process data from CryoSat-2 and Sentinel-3. Optical data from Sentinel-2 MSI and Sentinel-3 OLCI instruments will also be used in generating River Discharge products. New SAR …
Thanks to the work performed within the Sentinel coastal charting worldwide project, the effectiveness of Sentinel-2 data for bathymetry mapping has been proven. Read the full story.
ESA’s Sentinels for Evapotranspiration project, or Sen-ET for short, is exploiting machine learning techniques to combine Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 data for a 20m daily evapotranspiration monitoring in agricultural fields. Read the full story.
An experimental map of Europe at 10 m resolution displaying 13 land-cover classes can be viewed in full resolution on the CREODIAS EO Browser (select S2GLC and click search), or accessed as a WMS layer for expert use. It has been developed by processing Sentinel-2 data on the cloud with an almost fully automated approach. …
A webinar to learn how Sentinel data can contribute to freshwater monitoring, in particular by observing water-quality indicators such as concentrations of Chlorophyll-a, Total suspended matter (TSM), Coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM), as well as density of cyanobacteria and water turbidity. Apply from Thursday 13th to Thursday 27th February 2020. The RUS Service is funded …
According to the World Economic Forum the production of agriculture commodities including palm oil, soy, beef, timber, cocoa and rubber are accounting for the majority of deforestation world-wide. This ‘deforestation trajectory’ is directly associated with a growing carbon footprint of basic food staples therefore a wide range of new programmes and agribusinesses commitments emerge to …
A webinar to learn how Sentinel data can contribute to geological mapping. In particular, Sentinel-1 GRD Level-1 and Sentinel-2 MSI Level-2A products will be used to classify the different lithological units and structures over the Anti-Atlas Mountains in Morocco and will be combined with geological data. Apply from 13th of January 2020 to Wednesday 29th …
The Sentinel-2 MSI Level-1C and Level-2A may provide valuable screening products in the context of the Charter activations, in particular for fire events. Read about the new and advanced processing services currently being prepared to be available on the geohazards TEP. Featured image : Sentinel-2 RGB band combination (12, 8A and 4) highlighting hot …
