🌱 NOW OPEN: ‘Cultural Change for Green Transition’. This new opportunity provides funding for teams who would like to develop services or applications that trigger cultural change by raising awareness about climate change and providing mitigating actions. Proposed services must use satellite data, imagery or space-based technologies. Funding will be provided by the European Space Agency - ESA for 6-month studies called ‘Kick-Starts’, which can lead onto larger scale Demonstration Projects.

🛰 Europe and ESMERALDA? This week is an election week for the European Union! So let's talk about the EU and ESMERALDA, is there a connection? The EU provides ESMERALDA with the air it breathes .... no, the data it crunches. A few weeks ago, we spoke about ESMERALDA-TRACKER, our interactive digital platform for planning and tracking land restoration projects. While we explained what can be done with this wonderful platform, we never explained where our data comes from. Europe's eyes on the Earth: Most of the data we feed into ESMERALDA-TRACKER comes from the Copernicus ECMWF programme. Launched in 2015 by the European Space Agency - ESA but funded by the EU, Copernicus aims to make high-quality, time-series Earth observation data available free of charge to the world's citizens.   The Copernicus satellites are called Sentinels and come in pairs. Sentinel-1 is an all-weather RADAR satellite, while Sentinel-2 carries a multispectral camera. Sentinel-3 is dedicated to sea surface topography and sea and land temperature measurements, while - in the near future - Sentinel-4 will monitor the composition of the atmosphere. Sentinel-5 will also monitor atmospheric composition, while Sentinel-6 is dedicated to high-precision measurements of sea level. Some of the satellites mentioned above will be launched in the next few years. The data from these satellites can be used for a number of purposes. One of these is ecosystem restoration. To this end, ESMERALDA-TRACKER has built-in automated access to the Copernicus programme archives and can currently use data from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2. Getting the data talking on ESMERALDA-TRACKER is very easy! All the user has to do is - select the area of interest - choose the period of time from which data is to be utilized (no earlier than 2015) - Define the level of acceptable cloud cover From there, ESMERALDA-TRACKER will retrieve the data from the Copernicus archive and process it in the ESMERALDA-TRACKER platform. It automatically calculates geo-statistical values for each processed image, so that changes between two points in time can be easily quantified and visualised in appropriate maps. The possibilities are endless! By the way, this is a wonderful example of what the EU does for its citizens and the world: encouraging international cooperation, supporting its world-class industries and scientists, collecting scientific data on a massive scale and making it available to everyone - for free! Data that is used to protect our planet, our health and our livelihoods. Thank you Europe!

🚀 At X - ENDER Space, we're accelerating the development of a spaceborne distributed digital infrastructure that will revolutionize data accessibility for space assets. 🌍 In line with European Space Agency - ESA's Earth Observation Science Strategy ( 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eN9sx_bh ), we're working to enhance the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability (FAIR) of critical space data. These principles ensure that data from multiple sources can be quickly accessed and integrated, empowering industries like environmental monitoring, disaster management, and scientific research. As the volume of space data continues to grow, it’s crucial that we make it accessible to everyone who needs it. Our infrastructure is designed to do just that—enabling direct access to space data for faster, more informed decisions. Ready to learn more? Let’s talk about how we can make space data work for everyone. #SpaceData #FAIRprinciples #EarthObservation #Innovation #DigitalInfrastructure

Paul Vermunt received the Living Planet Fellowship grant from the European Space Agency - ESA. With the grant, he will research how to use satellites from ESA and others to measure forest water content. To do so, he will regularly go to the Speulderbos on the Veluwe. On and around a 46-metre-high tower in that forest, he will test various sensors that measure the moisture levels and growth of trees. In a warming climate, droughts are an increasing threat to the health of forests. Not only are droughts becoming more frequent, but when they occur they are on average also more severe. To make various forests resilient to droughts, it is important to improve the understanding of how these forests respond to dry periods. For this, it is important to be able to measure tree water content properly and preferably continuously. Satellites are increasingly being used for this purpose. Using microwaves, these satellites collect all kinds of data on what is happening on Earth. #UTwente #FacultyITC #ESA
