RUS Copernicus organises a full day hands-on training session focussing on the processing of Sentinel-5P data to monitor atmospheric ozone layer above Antarctica. Sentinel-5P was launched in October 2017 to screen the Earth’s atmosphere and quantify different pollutants (O3, CO, NO2, SO2,
RUS Webinar – Sea ice monitoring using Sentinel-1 data – 27 April 2021
The Arctic region is estimated to have 22% of the world’s oil and natural gas reserves, and a large portion of the natural resources in the Arctic are offshore and unexplored. As a result, more industrial activities are expected in this region in the future and
RUS Webinar – Bathymetry derivation using Sentinel-2 data – 8 April 2021
The characteristics of coastal areas are dependent on their bathymetry. Variations in the sea floor can be caused by various processes, like sedimentation, and depicted by colour or contour lines representing isobaths. Earth observation offers high spatial resolution, multi-spectral bands and
RUS Training Session – ESA Training course on Earth Observation – 22-26 March 2021
This 11th ESA Training course on Earth Observation is organized as a remote event by the European Space Agency (ESA) in cooperation with the Malta Council for Science and Technology (MCST). It aims at promoting and disseminating Earth Observation (EO)
RUS Training Session – Monitoring upwelling event with Sentinel-3 – 16 March 2021
RUS Copernicus organises a full day hands-on training session focussing on the processing of Sentinel-3 data to monitor an upwelling event in the ocean. The Sentinel-3 constellation is composed of two identical satellites, which aim at quantifying large-scale surface (both
RUS Webinar – Monitoring volcano emissions using Sentinel-5P data – 25 Febr. 2021
Volcanic eruptions, as one of Earth’s most dramatic and violent agents of change, can drastically alter land and water for kilometres around a volcano. 99 % of the gas molecules emitted in a volcanic eruption are water vapor (H2O), carbon
RUS Training Session – Ship detection with Sentinel-1 – 18 Feb. 2021
Marine surveillance can be done under different methodologies, using for example cooperative systems, where ships themselves report their identities and positions, with different options, like the Automatic Identification System (AIS), among others. Non-cooperative systems do not require cooperation on the
RUS Training Session – NO2 pollution monitoring with Sentinel-5P data – 9 Febr. 2021
RUS Copernicus organises a full day online training session about the processing of Sentinel-5P data to monitor NO2 concentration in the atmosphere. Sentinel-5P was launched in October 2017 to screen the Earth’s atmosphere and quantify different pollutants with a great
RUS Training Session – Inland water mapping using Sentinel-1 – 28 Jan. 2021
RUS Copernicus organises a full day online training session targeted at a beginner audience wishing to discover Sentinel-1 data processing for water mapping. With their night and day all weather imaging capabilities, SAR sensors onboard the Sentinel-1 missions provide the input
RUS Webinar – Volcano monitoring using Sentinel-1 data – 26 Jan. 2021
Monitoring deformation in active volcanic areas has always been of great interest, but remote sensing data has significantly increased the capability of acquiring more measurements at larger spatial scale and at relatively low cost. Stromboli, one of the three active
