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
RUS Webinar – StaMPS Persistent Scatterer Processing – 29 June 2021
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
RUS Training Session – Burned area mapping using Sentinel-3 SLSTR – 22 June 2021
RUS Copernicus organises a new hands-on training session focussing on the processing of Sentinel-3 data to map burnt areas. We will use data provided by the Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR) instrument on board the mission. The data
RUS Training Session – TAT 2021 – 3-4 June 2021
The Trans-Atlantic Training 2021 will be held as a distance event from 1st to 4 June 2021. Virtually hosted at the premises of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece, it will be organised by the Copernicus Academy Office of AUTh, the School of Geology and the
RUS Webinar – Volcano monitoring using Sentinel-2 – 27 May 2021
Since the beginning of this year, we have been running a series of monthly webinars on volcano monitoring, using data provided by different Sentinel missions. A new webinar is closing the loop! This month, we will focus on Mount Etna, a stratovolcano on the east coast of Sicily, one of the three active volcanoes in Italy and one of the tallest active
RUS Training Session – Land subsidence with Sentinel-1 data using SNAP – 20 May 2021
RUS-Copernicus is organising a remote hands-on training session focussing on land subsidence monitoring using Sentinel-1 imagery. This topic is quite important for urban areas which are susceptible to ground instabilities for both local and regional scale. The reasons for this
RUS Training Session – 2020 Antarctic ozone hole monitoring with Sentinel-5P – 29 April 2021
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 Demonstration – EUROGEO 2021 – 23 April 2021
EUROGEO 2021, the annual meeting and conference of the European Association of Geography will be held online on 22 and 23 April 2020. These two days will be dedicated to the contribution that the community of geographers can bring to global challenges by sharing knowledge about the important United Nations
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
