The Science Hub is hosting the 3rd edition of the Earth System Science Workshop in partnership with the University of Edinburgh. The event will take place between 13-17 May 2024. The scope of the workshop is to train PhD students in working with Earth Observation data to understand Earth system dynamics and processes. The participating […]
Professor Steve Groom has over 35 years’ experience in satellite and aircraft remote sensing with special interest in ocean colour, coccolithophores, inland waters and near-real time, operational environmental monitoring. Also interested in use of EO data notably in the developing world. Steve is Head of Science for Earth Observation Science, the largest science area at […]
Part of the Medcyclone Workshop programme, the Science Hub will host a Training School which is primarily addressed to PhD students, PostDocs, early career investigators, as well as professionals and scientists from regional and national meteorological agencies. The training school will cover several aspects of Mediterranean cyclones: dynamics, processes, forecasting, predictability, and impacts at both […]
Visiting Living Planet Fellow Tim Trent will make a presentation of the research he carried out during his stay at the ESRIN Science Hub in 2024. Tim is currently a research fellow working within the National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO) based at the University of Leicester. In addition to his research role, he also […]
Giulia Roccetti is a PhD student at the Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munch and the European South Observatory. Her presentation at the Science Hub will address one of the topics of her PhD. https://giulia-roccetti.github.io Probing cloud and surface properties in disk-integrated Earth’s observations Abstract: Earthshine, which is the sunlight reflected by the Earth onto the Moon, […]
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 […]
The 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 […]
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
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.
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 […]
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 our […]
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 […]
