SUMMARY:The Hub Talks: The NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) Mission: Overview and Status
DESCRIPTION: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 2006 and a Ph.D. from the University of Rennes 1 (Rennes\, France) and the University of Rome Tor Vergata in December 2009. From 2006 to 2008\, he was a Visiting Scientist at the European Space Agency (ESRIN)\, supporting ESA’s activities on polarimetric radar calibration and interferometric algorithm development. From January 2010 to December 2011\, he was a NASA Postdoctoral Fellow at JPL. He became a Staff Scientist in the Radar Science and Engineering Section at JPL in January 2012. Dr. Lavalle has served as Principal Investigator and co-Investigator for several NASA programs. He has been leading the NASA Distributed Aperture Radar Tomographic Sensors (DARTS) project and is a member of the ESA ROSE-L Mission Advisory Group. His research interests include retrieval algorithm development using interferometric and polarimetric radar techniques\, physical and statistical model formulation\, electromagnetic propagation\, scattering theory\, SAR tomography\, ecosystem modeling\, and surface parameters estimation. Dr. Lavalle is the recipient of the 2019 NASA Early Career Public Achievement Medal and the 2020 JPL Lew Allen Award for Excellence. \n\n\n\nAbstract: The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) Mission launched successfully on July 30\, 2025\, and will begin distributing science data as early as mid-October 2025\, ramping up to full science operations – collecting all land and ice-covered surfaces every 12 days from ascending and descending orbit vantage points – in early November 2025. These data will be freely and openly distributed from the NASA Alaska Satellite Facility within days of acquisition. NISAR observations are capable of addressing fundamental and applied research topics spanning disciplines that include ecosystems science\, cryosphere science\, geodesy\, solid earth science\, hydrology\, disaster response\, and resource management. This talk will provide an overview of the mission\, including its science and technology innovation\, and dive into its status with emphasis on data and uniqueness of this first-of-its-kind L and S band mission. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin link information👇 \n\n\n\n\nMicrosoft Teams Need help? \n\n\n\nJoin the meeting now \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 354 874 898 068 \n\n\n\nPasscode: dV68GG6z \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDial in by phone \n\n\n\n+39 02 0062 4740\,\,397106131# Italy\, Milan \n\n\n\nFind a local number \n\n\n\nPhone conference ID: 397 106 131# \n\n\n\nJoin on a video conferencing device \n\n\n\nTenant key: teams@meet.esa.int \n\n\n\nVideo ID: 121 272 605 6 \n\n\n\nMore info \n\n\n\nFor organizers: Meeting options | Reset dial-in PIN \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrg help | Privacy and security \n\n\n\n________________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY:The Marine Heat Waves from space: from detection to prediction workshop.
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe event gathers 25 experts from 11 countries to exchange insights and shape future research around four core objectives: improving MHW detection\, enhancing observability\, advancing predictability\, and assessing impacts. A major outcome will be a White Paper summarizing key challenges and opportunities and outlining a roadmap for future MHW-related activities. \n\n\n\nMore information on the workshop is available The Marine Heat Waves from space: from detection to prediction workshop.

SUMMARY:The Hub Talks: Cloud radiative imbalance in global 3D radiative transfer simulations
DESCRIPTION: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 fields from the ERA5 reanalysis product to model global-scale 3D radiative transfer in the Earth’s atmosphere. However\, strong biases emerge due to the coarse spatial resolution of the ERA5 cloud data. To address this limitation\, we have developed a 3D cloud generator capable of representing sub-grid cloud variability and heterogeneity within the ERA5 framework. Using this approach\, we find that the simulated cloud radiative effects converge at a horizontal resolution of approximately 6 km. Our next step is to validate this global 3D cloud generator using EarthCARE cloud products and to further investigate how horizontal resolution influences the modeled radiative effects of clouds. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the meeting now \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 311 093 910 796 8 \n\n\n\nPasscode: Po2LV2WT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDial in by phone \n\n\n\n+39 02 0062 4740\,\,773341781# Italy\, Milan \n\n\n\nFind a local number \n\n\n\nPhone conference ID: 773 341 781# \n\n\n\nJoin on a video conferencing device \n\n\n\nTenant key: teams@meet.esa.int \n\n\n\nVideo ID: 121 774 623 3 \n\n\n\nMore info \n\n\n\nFor organizers: Meeting options | Reset dial-in PIN \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrg help | Privacy and security \n\n\n\n________________________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY:The Hub Talks: Quantifying atmospheric trace-gas emissions using broadband satellite observations
DESCRIPTION: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 2025. His research revolves around satellite remote sensing of atmospheric composition with a focus on quantifying methane and NOx emissions. He is an Associate Editor of the Atmospheric Measurement Techniques journal\, Model Scientist of the Integrated Methane Inversion (IMI) cloud-computing tool for quantifying atmospheric methane emissions with satellite observations\, and Co-Nested Model Scientist of the GEOS-Chem global chemical transport model.  \n\n\n\nAbstract: Broadband multispectral satellite instruments have supported a wide range of land-imaging applications since the 1970s. In this talk\, I will show how these ubiquitous sensors can also quantify atmospheric trace-gas emissions at facility scale. I will discuss: (1) high-resolution retrieval of methane plumes from oil and gas facilities with the Sentinel-2 Multispectral Instrument (MSI); (2) near-real-time detection of large\, transient methane releases using the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI); and (3) mapping of NOx point sources at 10–60 m with Sentinel-2 MSI and the Landsat Operational Land Imager (OLI). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMicrosoft Teams Need help? \n\n\n\nJoin the meeting now \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 328 369 308 984 \n\n\n\nPasscode: fY6LQ6Le \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDial in by phone \n\n\n\n+39 02 0062 4740\,\,986432030# Italy\, Milan \n\n\n\nFind a local number \n\n\n\nPhone conference ID: 986 432 030# \n\n\n\nJoin on a video conferencing device \n\n\n\nTenant key: teams@meet.esa.int \n\n\n\nVideo ID: 125 398 688 0 \n\n\n\nMore info \n\n\n\nFor organizers: Meeting options | Reset dial-in PIN \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrg help | Privacy and security \n\n\n\n________________________________________________________________________________
