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 […]

The Hub Talks: UK Gas Leak Detected from Space: An Unexpected Discovery Leading to Large ImpactThe Hub Talks:

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 […]

The Hub Talks: The NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) Mission: Overview and Status

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 Marine Heat Waves from space: from detection to prediction workshop.

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

Marine Heat Waves (MHWs) — periods of abnormally high sea surface temperatures lasting several days — are becoming more frequent and intense under climate change. Enhancing our capacity to monitor and predict them is now crucial — not only for science, but also for society and ocean health. The event gathers 25 experts from 11 countries to […]

The Hub Talks: Cloud radiative imbalance in global 3D radiative transfer simulations

Speaker: Giulia Roccetti is a visiting us in the Science Hub from 14th to 21st ofOctober. Giulia recently finished her PhD at the European Southern Observatoryand has started a research fellowship position at ESA/ESAC. There, she will useEarthCARE data, among other resources, to study how 3D cloud structure affectstheir radiative effect.Abstract: We use 3D cloud […]

The Hub Talks: Quantifying atmospheric trace-gas emissions using broadband satellite observations

Online

Speaker: Daniel Varon is an Assistant Professor at MIT in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics and the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society. He received his PhD in atmospheric chemistry from Harvard University in 2020 and held postdoctoral fellowships at both Harvard and the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs from 2020 to […]

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 […]

The Hub Talks: Probing the urban atmosphere from ground: the BAQUNIN project

Speaker: Stefano Casadio ESA The Boundary-layer Air Quality analysis Using Network of INstruments (BAQUNIN) Atmospheric Composition monitoring and Cal/Val supersite (www.baqunin.eu), will be described with particular focus on the urban component. The BAQUNIN activities started on 2015 (ESA IDEAS+ WP), with increasing support from ESA and EUMETSAT in the following 10 years. The project consortium […]

The Hub Talks: TANGO: The Twin Anthropogenic Greenhouse Gas Observers Mission

Speaker: Dr Jochen Landgraf, SRON, Netherlands Short Bio: Jochen Landgraf is a senior scientist at SRON, the Netherlands Institute for Space Research, and a docent at the Institute for Environmental Physics of Heidelberg University. At SRON, he leads a research group specializing in atmospheric remote sensing of trace gasses using observations from TANGO, TROPOMI, Sentinel‑5, […]

The Hub Talks: Absolut Sensing’s GEN1: One Year of In-Orbit Operations and Data Processing for Facility-Scale Methane Monitoring

Speakers: Amélie Falcou, Frédéric Roman Abstract: This talk presents a one-year return on experience from the in-orbit operations of the GESat GEN1 mission, a compact satellite designed to detect and quantify methane emissions at facility scale. We will first introduce the mission concept, based on a SWIR Fizeau interferometer combined with a push-frame acquisition strategy, […]
