High resolution ET for water management from S2 and S3 combined with AI
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.
Towards fully automated land cover classification
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. …
Towards deforestation-free commodities production
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 …
Getting ready for the upcoming Charter activations – Part 2: Sentinel-2 RGB Composites
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 …
Earth Observation data For Science and Innovation in the Black Sea (EO4SIBS)
Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF LIEGE (BE)In the frame of the ESA Regional Initiatives, a set of coordinated activities between science, public sector, industry growth and infrastructure components focussing on regional priorities with high interest for Member States, a number of Science and Application projects are being runned for the Black Sea and Danube region. In this context, the EO4SIBS (Earth …
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 …
QuantEO: a new Intelligent Automation (IA) service for Sentinel-2 Data
Prime company: PIXSTART (FR)This project developed a service for automated clustering of Sentinel-2 pixels which allows its users to focus on Earth surface changes rather than on remote sensing problems, and hence to develop their own downstream applications. Available via a standard interface, it produces on demand and in near real time classified Sentinel-2 images at 10 meter …
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 …
Remote Sensing of Environment special issue
The Science and Applications with Sentinel-2 special issue of Remote Sensing of Environment has been completed with the last paper published on 5 April 2019. It features a selection of 28 key papers covering a wide range of new applications monitoring natural and human-induced dynamic processes up to national and even continental scale at high-resolution. …
