EarthConsole® Stories: GPU-powered SAR back-projection fully focused processor for enhanced S6 altimetry data processing

/in , /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. In the frame of the Sentinel-6 Poseidon-4 Ground Processor Prototype project, a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) back-projection fully focused processor for Sentinel-6 (S6) was developed […]

EarthConsole® Stories: Tracking and predicting changes in river systems with ENVISAT data

/in , , /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. The ESA River Discharge Climate Change Initiative aims to generate long-term climate data records—spanning at least 20 years—of river discharge for selected river basins and […]

Investigating Earth surface displacement with the on-demand P-SBAS service for Sentinel-1

/in /by

Our planet continually undergoes transformations, with natural and human-induced displacement shaping its surface. Comprehending these changes is paramount across various disciplines, from environmental science to disaster preparedness and response. Fortunately, advancements in satellite technology have provided us with tools to detect and study the Earth’s surface dynamics. In particular, the Differential Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry […]

EGU 2024: training course on the P-SBAS DInSAR web tool for Earth surface deformation

/in , /by

Earth surface deformation due to phenomena like volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, landslides, land subsidence due to fluid extraction activities or large infrastructure construction, can be effectively investigated using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensors. Through the SAR Interferometry (InSAR) technique, two radar images of the Earth’s surface are captured from slightly different angles. By comparing these images, […]

OCRE Project by CENTEC: more than a decade of processed CryoSat-2 and Sentinel-3 AB data over coastal zones available on ESA Altimetry Virtual Lab
