Space data help to unravel the complexities of Earth’s atmosphere
As the impacts of the climate crisis intensify, scientists are using ESA’s Earth observation archives to investigate atmospheric processes and their influences on the planet’s changing environment.
Event - Workshop
Space and the Arctic 2009 Workshop
Temperatures in the Arctic are rising at an unprecedented rate. This workshop looked at the needs and challenges of working and living in the rapidly changing Arctic and explore how space-based services might help to meet those needs.

Satellite data boost global understanding of land surface
Understanding our changing land surface is essential in the study of climate change. Satellites are used to monitor changes to the material that covers Earth’s surface, so-called land cover, such as vegetation and water.

Remote sensing data underpin research on soil
Environmental data disseminated by ESA’s Earth observation programmes provide knowledge about the stresses on Earth’s soils – aiding many applications such as crop management, drought and flood forecasting, and ecosystem protection.
Event - Workshop
POLinSAR 2005
The objectives of the POLinSAR 2005 workshop was to present the latest studies and results of SAR polarimetry and polarimetric interferometry.
Event - Conference
Living Planet Symposium 2019
ESA's Living Planet Symposia are amongst the biggest Earth observation conferences in the world. Scientists present their latest findings on Earth's environment and climate.

Inter-comparison-of-Large-Scale-Optical-and-Infrared-Sensors.pdf
Proceedings of the workshop held from 12-14 October 2004 at ESA-ESTEC (Noordwijk, The Netherlands). The objective of the workshop was to present and exchange experiences and knowledge from work on inter-comparing large scale optical sensors at different product levels. This includes the evaluation and reduction of calibration bias and the validation of geophysical product uncertainties.

Heritage data trains neural networks to detect urban sprawl
Using data from non-operational ESA remote sensing missions, researchers have trained a network of artificial neurons to recognise how cities change over decades. They hope this will help city planners reduce the impact that urbanisation has on the environment.
