Imagine a road that needs repeated repairs, and reports from the same neighbourhood that keep arriving over several years. There are inspection notes, photographs and maintenance records, but some questions stay open. Has the ground moved beyond the places already inspected? How has it moved over time? Is there any record from before the first […]
Satellite technology is remarkably advanced, so it is tempting to imagine it can see almost anything, anywhere, in perfect detail, at any moment. In reality, satellites have real limits. Most Earth Observation satellites follow predetermined orbits, which limit when they can observe a particular location. Some can be tasked or pointed towards a target, but […]
Today, two satellites lifted off together from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. One is there to watch plants breathe. The other will continue monitoring key environmental and climate variables, building on observations collected by its predecessors since 2016. They will help us better understand the health of vegetation and the wider conditions shaping our changing […]
The people we have been working with most closely are researchers: scientists who use Earth Observation data professionally, some for their entire careers. If anyone should feel at home navigating this domain, it is them. Yet the difficulty they have been describing to us, more and more often, has nothing to do with a lack […]
This summer, while large areas of countryside in many European countries dealt with wildfires, something changed in the way satellite data reaches the people who respond to them. This change is worth a closer look, because it says a lot about where the value of data may also come from. What happened The Sentinel-3 satellite, […]
We are pleased to announce a significant upgrade to the ALES (Adaptive Leading Edge Subwaveform) services for ENVISAT and ERS-2 missions. Developed by Marcello Passaro from the Deutsches Geodätisches Forschungsinstitut (DGFI) of the Technical University of Munich, this release brings an optimized output product designed to streamline research workflows. This enhancement adds to a previous […]
EarthConsole® Stories are experiences about how we helped universities, research centres or service developers to leverage Earth Observation data to extract valuable insights for their research, educational or pre-commercial projects. Understanding how and why the ground moves is essential for managing natural resources, infrastructure, and environmental risks. This research project, developed at Politecnico di Torino, […]
EarthConsole® Stories are experiences about how we helped universities, research centres or service developers to leverage Earth Observation data to extract valuable insights for their research, educational or pre-commercial projects. The DEMETRAS initiative, part of the broader ESA 4DMED-Hydrology project, aims to deliver more accurate and timely insights into river discharge in Mediterranean countries. By […]
EarthConsole® Stories are experiences about how we helped universities, research centres or service developers to leverage Earth Observation data to extract valuable insights for their research, educational or pre-commercial projects. Coastal regions are on the frontline of climate change, and the coast of Kerala, South India, is no exception. It’s one of the most densely […]
We’ve teamed up with the BeGEO Association and the Italian Istituto per il Rilevamento Elettromagnetico dell’Ambiente (IREA-CNR), to bring you the 3rd BeGEO webinar entitled “InSAR and P-SBAS applications in Earth Sciences. The EarthConsole® platform for the assisted processing of large Earth Observation datasets”. The webinar will be held on April 9, 2025, from 15:30 […]
