Do you know the Copernicus Reference Data Access platform, or CORDA for short? As part of the #Copernicus #InSitu component, CORDA serves as the single-entry node to national and regional authoritative geospatial reference data, in particular for the Copernicus mapping services #CLMS #CEMS & the Copernicus Security Service 📡 🛰️ If you want to know more about CORDA, we've got you covered! Check out the recording of last week's dedicated In Situ webinar: https://lnkd.in/euR2PE-y Here’s a quick overview 🔍 of what went through during the event: ➡️ Copernicus In Situ coordinator José Miguel Rubio Iglesias (#EEA) gave an introduction to Copernicus In Situ, CORDA and the importance of geospatial data for production and validation activities of the Copernicus services. ➡️ Iñaki Diaz de Cerio (Bilbomática) & Olga López de Turiso (Geograma) took us on a deep dive into CORDA. ➡️ Angela Baker (EuroGeographics) showcased the work done to enable greater access to EuroGeographics members authoritative data for the Copernicus Services and end users, including the removal of legal and technical barriers. And stay tuned, as more In Situ webinars are on the way!

#CLMSGA2025 is the #event where you can connect with and grow your CLMS community! Building on the success of previous years, the programme will again be diverse and packed with engaging content. One interactive session that proved very popular last year is the marketplace👥🗣️, where you can meet and talk directly with the CLMS production team.   And there’s something new this year – the fishbowl conversation🐟🗨️! In different rooms, moderated discussions will take place, where you can choose to step into the centre of the conversation or simply listen to the different viewpoints.

How do we monitor #agriculture across an entire continent? The EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has adapted over decades — and now, monitoring methods are evolving too. High-resolution data from the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service provides detailed, consistent insights on 🌾 #crop diversity, 🌱grassland management, and 🏞️ land use, helping policymakers track progress toward key sustainability goals. 🔍 Learn how satellite data is shaping the next generation of CAP indicators and supporting Europe’s agricultural transformation.

The #Copernicus #Land Cover Viewer is retiring! After many years of providing valuable insights into land cover changes, the Land Cover Viewer will no longer be available. ❌ This move is part of a broader shift towards more advanced tools in Earth observation. While this marks the end of an important chapter, the evolution of satellite data continues, with new platforms and solutions on the horizon ✨ . 🔗 Find out more about this transition and what’s coming next: https://lnkd.in/dJe6fm8p #EarthObservation #SatelliteData #Environment #TechNews

The countdown is on! ⏳ The CLCplus Backbone #webinar is happening soon Don't miss out on the heart of European land monitoring and key insights from our great speakers Benjamin Argyle-Ross from GeoVille Information Systems and Data Processing GmbH, Fabian Berndt and Inés Ruiz Gomez from GAF AG, and Manuel Mayr and Tobias Langanke from the European Environment Agency.

How do you track environmental change across an entire country?🌍🔍 Italy’s national land cover and land use map, produced by ISPRA, combines multiple #Copernicus datasets to provide a detailed, accurate picture of Italy’s landscape. 🗺️ From land take monitoring and emissions assessments to urban green space and sustainable development reporting, this map supports critical national and EU environmental goals. Now, other countries are taking notice — could this become a model for Europe-wide best practices?

Let’s dive into the power of in-situ data in #hydrology! 📡 🌊   #InSitu data play a vital role in #RemoteSensing technologies, boosting their real-world impact. A prime example? They are key to enhancing the hydrological models behind #Copernicus Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS) and European Flood Awareness System (EFAS) products, improving flood predictions and preparedness.   Now, three new reports explore the potential of in-situ and satellite data for hydrological research, observations, and forecasting. Discover the insights! 👇   ➡️ Review of Hydrological Catchment Observatories of relevance to in-situ hydrology activities in Copernicus: https://lnkd.in/gqg_Kur4    ➡️ The value and availability of river cross-section and floodplain topography information for global hydrological observations: https://lnkd.in/gSz3X8RM   ➡️ Review of the potential of satellite radar technologies for global hydrology products: https://lnkd.in/gHYxeT4B   And don’t miss the key takeaways from the “Enhancing Access to Hydrology Data for Copernicus” workshop, held last autumn:   ➡️ Workshop report: https://lnkd.in/gQTaXHff   ➡️ Presentations: https://lnkd.in/gFF4qctA
