“I have extremely enjoyed my time as an ESA LPF. The opportunity to pursue my own interests, while growing myself as a researcher has been invaluable. Having been able to work closely with ESA and get to know its people and practices is a strong foundation I hope to build on as I continue with …
“The Living Planet Fellowship is a great opportunity to pursue a two-year project with high innovative potential, for which I would like to thank ESA and my supervisors. The LPF program allows fellows to spend time on carefully investigating new research perspectives, which is not always possible at postdoc level. During this two-year period, I …
“Participating in the LPF was a very valuable experience for me, because I established contacts with other scientists and gained new skills and knowledge, which will certainly pay off in my scientific career” After completing her fellowship, Karolina returned to the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology in Poland. She continues to work there as …
The ionosphere forms a comparatively dense layer of partially ionized gas around Earth. The ionosphere as a whole works to dissipate the energy provided by the constant connection it has to the solar wind and magnetosphere systems. This energy dissipation, which creates beautiful displays of aurora in Earth’s polar regions, is associated with plasma turbulence …
Edna is currently an ESA Living Planet Fellow at the University of Bristol, UK. She completed a PhD in volcano remote sensing at the University of Leeds, UK in 2022 where her research focused on using high resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) to examine volcanic deposits. During her PhD she worked closely with the Centre …
Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Edna Dualeh. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) backscatter can provide crucial information about the progression of a volcanic eruption,regardless of the time of day or environmental conditions (e.g., cloud coverage). SAR backscatter is dependent on the surface scattering properties, which can be altered during a volcanic eruption through the emplacement …
Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Romy Schlögel and Karolina Owczarz. Within this project we intend to analyse ground deformation hazards induced by meteorological changes and seismotectonic conditions in eastern Belgium, western Germany and the south-eastern Netherlands. Thus, its outcomes should also be of interest for the ongoing Interreg project Einstein Telescope EMR Site & …
Romy is a geologist and senior researcher in Earth Observation for natural hazards analysis at the Centre Spatial de Liège, University of Liège. Her current research interests include remote sensing for monitoring natural hazards related to climate change. She was a contractor for the United Nations for Training and Research (UNITAR) supporting the UNOSAT in …
Olga is currently an ESA Living Planet Fellow at Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM, Spain). She graduated in Physics from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB, Spain) in 2012 and completed a Master in Modelling for Science and Engineering in 2014. She also worked as a technician at the Research Group of Ionizing Radiations at UAB. …
Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Olga Ortega Gelabert. Geophysical observables (e.g. surface elevation, gravity anomalies, seismic data, surface heat flow, etc.) are one of the main sources of information used to make inferences about the interior of the Earth. Obtaining consistent models requires combining simultaneously different observable datasets into joint inversions. Among geophysical data, …
