Snow cover is the land area blanketed in snow at any given time and air temperature is one of the main factors determining the amount of precipitation falling on land as snow and its melting rate. In many regions of the world,

RUS Copernicus is holding a remote hands-on training session over two half-days, where participants will access a Virtual Machine to exploit the open-source toolboxes available in the RUS environment, to download and process Sentinel-5P data, from their own laptop.  Sentinel-5P was launched in October 2017 to screen the Earth’s atmosphere and quantify different pollutants with a

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO, 2020), forests cover more than 31% of the total land area in the Earth. Forest ecosystem provides shelter for animals and maintains biodiversity, but also supplies the oxygen and plays a key role in global carbon cycle

RUS Copernicus is providing a hands-on practical training course on agriculture monitoring. This 2-day event is organised in partnership with ESA Space Solutions and hosted by ESA BIC Nord France.   As the world population grows, the demand increases for food, fuel and raw materials provided by agriculture. These growing needs

Following the UN/Austria Symposium 2021 on “Space Applications for Food Systems”, the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) is offering a webinar series about the application of Earth Observation technologies for Agriculture, in partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA), NASA Applied Remote

Pelagic Sargassum seaweed is a large brown alga floating at the ocean surface thanks to its gas-filled bladders. In the North Atlantic, this alga grows and stays at the sea surface during its entire lifetime, aggregating and forming mats carried by winds,

Despite the ban on chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the 2000s, an ozone hole keeps forming every year during late winter/early spring above Antarctica. The extremely cold winter temperatures, coupled to a strong polar vortex, enhance the ozone depleting effects of the CFCs in this

Over the last decades, the world’s population is growing and, as a result, higher demand for supplies has led to increased agriculture, both extensive and intensive. Therefore, public authorities and decision-makers need accurate and systematic information to rely on and

The CIVIS Summer School, to be held from 28 June to 9 July 2021, aims at providing advanced training to young European environmental and Earth scientists about the latest geospatial methods applicable to environmental sciences, geography and urbanism, focusing on applications of the Copernicus satellites. On this occasion, RUS

Land subsidence monitoring is very important for urban areas which are prone to ground instabilities at both local and regional scale. This phenomenon can occur from either anthropogenic activities or natural-geological ones. In Mexico City, land subsidence, caused by groundwater over-exploitation, is estimated to
