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: 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
