🛰️🌏At the Space Station Earth shows in London & Birmingham, ESA demonstrated the critical role of Earth observation in tracking climate change. One highlight was the opportunity for the audience to learn how ESA and astronaut Luca Parmitano validated satellite data on the ground.

New article on above-ground biomass highlights the Climate Change Initiative Biomass Jupyter notebook – a tool to access, visualise, and track forest carbon stocks at resolutions from 100 m to 50 km, covering 2005 to 2024 earth.esa.int/eogateway/eo...
18 annual maps spanning two decades of forest carbon data. 🌳 New satellite dataset covering 2005-2012 and 2015-2024 just released — free to access:

This study boosted agricultural drought monitoring: By comparing high‑detail surface soil moisture maps and a five‑year daily time series from @esa.int Climate Change Initiative, an ESA-funded team found that the different data sets broadly agreed on wet and dry periods. t1p.de/12a3r
Are we modelling fires properly?🔥
A new study improves how a global climate model sizes wildfire smoke emissions to differentiate between normal fires and extreme fires. To make sure the comparison focuses on real wildfire plumes, the team used data from Copernicus Sentinel-5P: t1p.de/uarz1
