[vc_row gap=”35″][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1713452027093{margin-top: 20px !important;}”]The European Space Agency (ESA) and Future Earth have partnered to facilitate the development and uptake of Earth observation data by Future Earth\u2019s research networks.<\/p>\n

The ESA-Future Earth joint program funding supports links by bringing Future Earth scientists to meetings and trainings organised by ESA, to promote the potential of Earth observation data to new communities and develop links with the GRPs and KANs. It also increases ESA\u2019s involvement in Future Earth conferences and events, supporting with sponsorship, keynote speakers, expert scientist participation and joint sessions. There is some limited travel support available to support strategic attendance (for events at least six months in advance, please directly email Sophie Hebden to develop an idea such as a conference training session).<\/p>\n

The partnership includes seed funding to stimulate new collaborations around the use of ESA\u2019s EO data, such as the research datasets developed via ESA\u2019s Climate Change Initiative<\/a> (CCI) and ESA\u2019s Open Science Data Catalogue<\/a>. CCI datasets are continually being developed for\u00a0land cover<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0high resolution land cover<\/a>, vegetation parameters<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0land surface temperature<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0soilmoisture<\/a>, anthropogenic water use<\/a>, river discharge<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0fire<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0biomass<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0lakes<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0permafrost<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0snow<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0glaciers<\/a>, ice sheets (Antarctica<\/a><\/em>\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0Greenland<\/a>),<\/em>\u00a0sea ice<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0sea level<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0sea state<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0sea surface salinity<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0ocean colour<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0sea surface temperature<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0greenhouse gases<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0water vapour<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0ozone<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0aerosol<\/a>, precursors for aerosols and ozone<\/a>, and<\/em>\u00a0cloud<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

They are freely available from the CCI\u00a0Open Data Portal<\/a> and many are now produced operationally by climate services such as the Copernicus Climate Change Service<\/a>. \u00a0Satellite data from ESA can also be explored and accessed from the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
