Improving the reconstruction of upper ocean dynamics from space

ESRIN Science Hub Via Galileo Galilei, 1, Frascati, RM, Italy

Final 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, Italy

2-day workshop on “Grounding Lagrangian particles in satellite-derived oceanic flow fields” workshop at the Science Hub, in the frame of the 4DMED project scientific visit. 4DMED Project

Collaborative Writing Workshop

ESRIN Science Hub Via Galileo Galilei, 1, Frascati, RM, Italy

A 3-day “Collaborative Writing” workshop, to be held @ESA Science Hub to work collaboratively (6 persons – Visiting Scientists) at the ESA Science hub and draft the article based on the content presented during the 2-d workshop. This visit is organised as part of the 4DMED Project.

The Hub Talks: Advancing atmospheric composition monitoring for Sentinel-5

ESRIN Science Hub Via Galileo Galilei, 1, Frascati, RM, Italy

Title: 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: Advanced combined retrieval of aerosol, green-house gases and surface properties with GRASP algorithm. Application to Multiangular polarimeters and SWIR spectrometers. The Hub Talks:

Speaker: Dr. Marcos Herreras Giralda is a scientific officer at GRASP SAS, he has participated in several projects focused on the remote characterization of all the elements of the climate system: aerosols, gases and surface. Furthermore, some of them, as DIVA III (ESA), involve the connection of different satellite products, models and ground based reference for its validation and the creation of joint products. Dr. Herreras […]

Data-driven climate and EO applications for extreme heat on land and the ocean

ESRIN Science Hub Via Galileo Galilei, 1, Frascati, RM, Italy

Speaker: Ana Oliveira, Colab&Atlantic, Portugal  As climate change pushes our planet beyond familiar conditions, heatwaves—both on land and in the ocean—become striking indicators of how underlying climate trends translate into extreme temperatures. Former architect and urban planner Ana will explore how these changes present an opportunity to bring climate science and Earth observation closer to […]

ESA and CNR-ISMAR inaugurate the advanced Mediterranean Lab

ESRIN Science Hub Via Galileo Galilei, 1, Frascati, RM, Italy

A major step forward in Mediterranean Sea research was taken last week, on April 7th, with the inauguration of the advanced Mediterranean open science Data Analysis Lab (MeDAL) at ESA’s ESRIN Science Hub. The launch of the new initiative was formalised through the signature of a Memorandum of Intent by Simonetta Cheli, Director of ESA Earth Observation […]

The Hub Talks: Observing the Earth (water and) energy cycle from space to understand climate change

Speaker: Dr. Meyssignac is a researcher at the Laboratoire d’Etudes en Géophysique et Océanographie Spatiale (LEGOS) and at the French Space National Center (CNES) in Toulouse, France. His research focuses on understanding the variations of the global Earth energy-water cycle at regional and global scales through high precision geodetic satellite observations and modelling approaches. He investigates processes leading to changes in the Earth energy budget, theEarth energy imbalance and the response […]

online

Speaker: Dr Emily Dowd is Research Fellow in Greenhouse Gas Modelling at the University of Leeds. She graduated from her PhD at the University of Leeds in 2024 and her thesis focused on analysing methane across difference spatial and temporal scales. Emily's research focuses on using satellite data and chemical transport models to investigate changes in atmospheric methane. She is […]

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, Italy

Speaker: 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 […]
