Reference data for Improved Sar-based fOresT waTer Observations (RISOTTO)

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF TWENTE (NL)

During drought, water deficit depletes tree water content, which can lead to water stress mortality, vulnerability to wildfires and increased susceptibility to insect and pathogen attacks. Widespread tree mortality could be triggered by increased drought frequency, such as expected in Europe, which can lead to disrupting the provision of important ecosystem services and increased carbon …

Environmental Crimes workshop 2024

June 11 @ 09:00 - June 12 @ 17:00 UTC+2
ESA-ESRIN, Largo Galileo Galilei, 1
Frascati, RM 00044 Italy

Background Environmental crime is growing at annual rates of 5% to 7% globally. Countering environmental crime is complex  as it is often perpetrated by criminal organizations operating across borders. It also spans a broad range of activities, such as illegal waste management and shipment, illegal logging and trade in timber, illegal water abstraction, pollution, habitats …

STREAM-NEXT

Prime company: CNR-RESEARCH INSTITUTE FOR GEO-HYDROLOGICAL PROTECTION – IRPI (IT)

This project is a proposal extension of the ESA STREAM project (SaTellite based Runoff Evaluation And Mapping, Contract Number 4000126745/19/I-NB) and it is addressed to investigate the possibility to extend at global scale the estimation of runoff and river discharge by using satellite observations. In particular the project will explore the feasibility to: provide long-term …

Enhancing GRACE data resolution for water cycle analysis

The Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission has been instrumental in our understanding of the water cycle by measuring Total Water Storage Anomalies (TWSA). However, its coarse spatial and temporal resolutions have limited its applications in various scientific and socio-economic domains. A recent scientific paper, an outcome of the 4DMED-Hydrology project, demonstrates a new …

Introducing physics to artificial intelligence methods to improve satellite monitoring of the water cycle

Prime company: ESTELLUS SAS (FR)

The project aims to develop, train, and apply a hybrid neural network model to optimise EO data for a coherent, balanced water cycle at the global scale resulting in a new pixel-resolution datasets for the four water cycle components: precipitation, evapotranspiration, change in water storage, and runoff (or river discharge). These data will cover the …
