Identification – which includes both detection and characterisation – of liquid discharges from land is a relevant topic both for coastal and fresh waters areas. Such events can pose a relevant treat to the different kinds of ecosystem that can be found in such areas, as well as have a negative impact to their sustainable …
There is an increasing threat from water-related issues impacting the human population through global warming, shifts in precipitation patterns and extreme weather conditions, all leading to water stress, including natural disasters such as floods or droughts, with a risk of severe damage to the environment, property and human life. A less studied aspect of such …
The goal of the EO-BALP project is to develop a cloud service platform for Earth Observation (EO) data access and processing and provide six different applications that will demonstrate the practical use of satellite data in different domains: Monitoring application of infrastructure and settlements with more than 60,000 inhabitants, which will help to detect and …
Despite their global coverage and public availability, measurements of water quality parameters retrieved by remote sensing have not been used for local short-term forecasting of water quality yet. In fact, forecasting based on remote sensing water quality products with on-ground resolution from, say, 30 m (Sentinel-2 MSI, Landsat-8/9 OLI) to 300 m (Sentinel-3A/B OLCI) or …
The objective of the work proposed is to develop and validate a new method to compute Absolute Dynamic Topography (ADT) in the Arctic Ocean. This product will be devoted to clean ocean applications: First, the ADT will be assimilated in the CCMEP Regional Ice Ocean Prediction System (RIOPS). RIOPS is used operationally to provide numerical …
It has become abundantly clear during the COVID-19 pandemic that environmental factors can be important in the emergence, spread, health impact, social political response, and socioeconomic recovery plan from Sars-Cov-2/COVID-19. Having tools available to study the impact of the environment for this pandemic and future pandemics is important to increase preparedness and curtail future societal …
