Improving the reconstruction of upper ocean dynamics from space
ESRIN Science Hub Via Galileo Galilei, 1, Frascati, RM, ItalyFinal presentation of research fellow Florian Le Guillou. Abstract: The use of satellite data has revolutionized the study of upper ocean dynamics, offering global, continuous, and real-time information about various physical processes at the ocean’s surface. These data provide key insights into ocean circulation, temperature distribution, wave patterns, and other dynamic factors. For instance, Sea Surface […]

ESRIN Science Hub Via Galileo Galilei, 1, Frascati, RM, ItalyThe MethaneSAT mission for the detection and quantification of anthropogenic methane emissions: overview and first results Abstract: Mitigating anthropogenic methane emissions is vital for reducing the rate of global warming. Under the scientific lead of the Environmental Defense Fund and Harvard University, the MethaneSAT satellite mission is designed to detect and quantify anthropogenic methane emissions […]
The Hub Talks: Advancing atmospheric composition monitoring for Sentinel-5
ESRIN Science Hub Via Galileo Galilei, 1, Frascati, RM, ItalyTitle: Advanced combined retrieval of aerosol, green-house gases and surface properties with GRASP algorithm. Application to Multiangular polarimeters and SWIR spectrometers. Abstract:One of the primary challenges in achieving the necessary precision in satellite retrievals of XCO2 and XCH4 is accurately characterizing atmospheric aerosols. Multiangular-Polarimetric measurements (MAP) represent the most advanced approach for understanding aerosol properties from space-borne platforms. Conversely, the optimal sensitivity to […]
The Hub Talks: Mapping the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of marine plastic litter: The need for measuring ocean surface currents
Speaker: Erik van Sebille is a professor of oceanography and public engagement at Utrecht University, where he also received his PhD in 2009. He has worked at the University of Miami, the University of New South Wales in Sydney, and Imperial College in London. Erik investigates how ocean currents move 'stuff' around. He is the […]
The Hub Talks: Carbon Mapper – Global distributions of super-emitting methane point sources as detected by satellites
ESRIN Science Hub Via Galileo Galilei, 1, Frascati, RM, ItalySpeaker: Daniel Cusworth is the Science Director for Carbon Mapper. Carbon Mapper’s mission is to drive greenhouse gas emission reductions by making methane and carbon dioxide data accessible and actionable. Daniel oversees algorithm development, validation, analysis, and applications of airborne and satellite greenhouse gas datasets. He was formerly a Data Scientist at the NASA Jet […]

Speaker: Dr Marco Lavalle is the Deputy Project Scientist for the NISAR Mission and the Group Supervisor (JPL equivalent for ESA’s Section Manager) of the SAR Algorithms and Processing Group at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (Pasadena, California). He received an M.Sc. in Telecommunication Engineering from the University of Rome Tor Vergata (Rome, Italy) in […]
The Hub Talks: The Science and Technology behind Spaceborne Doppler velocity measurements
Abstract: The Earth Cloud, Aerosol, and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) 94-GHz Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR), is the first spaceborne Doppler radar that provides coincident measurements of reflectivity and Doppler velocity, opening the path to quantifying vertical air motions and hydrometeor sedimentation velocities from space. The coming decade will feature several additional space-borne missions including the NASA-Investigation […]
