In the framework of the EO AFRICA initiative, from January 29 – February 23, 2024 an online course is being organised by the EO AFRICA R&D Facility. The course will review a variety of different publicly and freely available data sets and tools for surface water detection and modelling using a full 2D version of …
The EO AFRICA Research Facility has launched a revised version of the questionnaire about Africa Research gaps originally administered in 2021. The questionnaire aims to collect information from Africa-oriented EO specialists about the continent’s research challenges and gaps. Contribution of Africa-based researchers is highly welcome: please fill out the anonymous questionnaire (takes about 10-12 minutes) …
The pressure on water resources is steadily increasing due to population growth and increasing wealth for part of the population. Climate change adds to this pressure, e.g. through more frequent and intense heat waves and droughts, and also disturbs the water cycle through more frequent floods. In order to tackle such challenges we need to …
