BAMS-MAZOVIA: Built-up Areas Monitoring Service for Mazovia
Prime company: Geosystems Polska (PL)The project created a service platform providing reliable information on changes in built-up areas, derived from Sentinel-2 data in a fully automatic manner using image classification algorithms. These algorithms, selected for the tool, are successfully operated and validated in other Land Cover mapping activities conducted by the consortium partners. Results of the image classification contributed …
EO AFRICA – Water Resources Management (WRM)
Prime company: Planetek Italia (IT)The project plans to estimate crop water stress and evapotranspiration, exploiting ECOSTRESS and PRISMA data by experimental EO analysis techniques. Expected outcome: an open source innovative model will be developed to assess actual crop evapotranspiration (ETa) using EO-derived crop coefficient (Kc) and crop water stress index (CWSI). The solution will be integrated into a web …
EO AFRICA Water Stress and Climate Indices for Africa – WASCIA
Prime company: TELESPAZIO VEGA UK LIMITED (GB)‘Water Stress and Climate Indices for Africa’ (WaSCIA) is an ESA funded project that aims to deliver high-quality Water Stress and Climate Indices through an easy-to-use web interface to help the management of drought and water stress in Africa. The project is led by Telespazio UK with the partnership of RSS-Hydro, Telespazio France, AGRHYMET (Centre Regional de Formation et d’Application en Agrométéorologie …
EO AFRICA F2F Training #5: Cloud based EO analyses for Water and Food Security
November 7, 2022 - November 11, 2022
The 5th F2F course of the EO AFRICA R&D Facility will take place in Nairobi, Kenya in close collaboration with the Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources or Development (RCMRD). In this course, participants will get an introduction to cloud-based image analysis techniques for Water and Food Security. The training includes face-to-face lecturing and reading …
Two African Research Fellows joined ESRIN in 2022
In the framework of the overall collaborative efforts with Africa, carried out with the strong involvement of the African Union Commission (AUC), for the first time in the ESRIN activities, two African Researchers have joined ESRIN in 2022: Dr. Wassim M. Baba and Dr Gladys Mosomtai. Wassim a post-doctoral researcher at the University Mohammed VI …

Vine irrigation from earth observation data – WineEO
Prime company: TERRANIS SAS (FR)Optimizing water resources is a real issue in some geographical area. Temperature have increased by 0,85°C on average between 1880 and 2012 and couldreach 4.8°C by 2100 compared to the period from 1986 to 2005, according to the last IPCC report. As a result, agriculture and viticulture are facing an increasing water scarcity at the …
Space4SafeSea
Prime company: e-Odyn (FR)The ocean surface circulation with all its time-space complexity is the open-air limb of the oceanic mass transport. Surface currents carry heat (climate), plankton (marine biology), plastic (pollution). As well wave-current interactions lead to significant sea state variability and strong wave height gradients inside relatively small geographic zones. The complex behaviour of the coupled wave-current …
INCREASING CROP WATER USE EFFICIENCY AT MULTIPLE SCALES USING SENTINEL EVAPOTRANSPIRATION (ET4FAO)
Prime company: DHI GRAS A/S (DK)The ET4FAO project demonstrated the suitability of Copernicus data (Sentinel-2, Sentinel-3 and ERA-5) for accurate and consistent country-wide mapping of actual evapotranspiration (ET) at spatial resolutions ranging from 20 m to 300 m. This was achieved through production of ET maps covering the whole of Tunisia and Lebanon for the year 2019. Validation across 6 …
