"In a few weeks, Earth scientists will launch a satellite that will provide unprecedented, high-resolution coverage of some of the most remote and rapidly changing parts of the world. The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) satellite, a joint mission between NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), will scan nearly the entire globe twice every 12 days to measure changes in Earth’s ecosystems, cryosphere, and land surface." #satellitedata #earthobservation #nisar https://lnkd.in/ebuDGs7i

"Finding Colombia’s peatlands and slowing the rate of their destruction could prevent the release of significant carbon stores, reducing the nation’s overall carbon emissions. With that goal in mind, Winton and a team of researchers set out in search of peat. Starting in regions identified by a global predictive map for wetlands, they talked with local people to get a sense for what plant communities might be associated with peatlands. Then they used satellite imagery to find promising areas to visit and investigate. It was a difficult, but ultimately rewarding process that spanned three years." - University of California, Santa Cruz #satellitedata #earthobservation #peatland #carbonstorage https://lnkd.in/eaV6wF3v

"An ESA-funded study that used satellite data to define biodiversity zones and shipping lanes in the Atlantic Ocean suggests it is possible to protect 30% of ocean habitats, with little impact on fishing and shipping... The study, published in Marine Pollution Bulletin, demonstrates how satellite data can be used to define a methodology to protect 30% of the ocean seascape, which provides important habitats for migratory birds, large fish, turtles, cetaceans and mammals including whales, dolphins and porpoises." - European Space Agency - ESA #satellitedata #earthobservation #biodiversity #ocean https://lnkd.in/dR8-PaTX

"In February, NASA’s ER-2 science aircraft flew instruments designed to improve satellite data products and Earth science observations. From data collection to processing, satellite systems continue to advance, and NASA is exploring how instruments analyzing clouds can improve data measurement methods." #satellitedata #earthobservation #earthscience https://lnkd.in/ejD4xtvE

"The overall target of the NRR [Nature Restoration Regulation] is to restore at least 20% of the EU’s land and sea area by 2030 and 100% of degraded habitats by 2050... One of the most important features of the NRR is that it contains a blend of fixed and flexible indicators... Some of these indicators, both fixed and flexible, will rely heavily on Earth Observation (EO) data due to the sheer scale of the required ecosystem monitoring. Tracking changes in forests, wetlands, grasslands, and marine habitats across vast areas demands consistent, high-resolution, and frequently updated data—a challenge which traditional field-based monitoring alone cannot cope with. In Article 20, the regulation explicitly encourages the use of EO data—mentioning the Copernicus services by name—as a cornerstone of national monitoring efforts." - Copernicus EU #satellitedata #earthobservation #nature #conservation #restoration https://lnkd.in/g--wwZdU

"Flying high above the clouds and moon-gazing may sound like a scene from a timeless romance, but NASA did just that in the name of Earth science research. In March 2025 pilots took the agency’s ER-2 science aircraft on a series of night flights over NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, as the Moon increased in visible size... The Airborne Lunar Spectral Irradiance, or air-LUSI, mission observed the Moon at different phases and measured the sunlight reflected by the lunar surface. Specifically, the instrument tracks the amount of light reflected at different wavelengths. This information enables scientists to use the Moon as a calibration tool for Earth-observing sensors." #satellitedata #earthobservation #calibration https://lnkd.in/eq69zu5v

"Scientists at Lancaster University have studied satellite images of the UK to produce the most accurate assessment yet on how much land solar farms occupy... The study, in collaboration with NextEnergy Capital and published in the journal Progress in Energy, show that the amount of land occupied by solar farms is between 15,580 and 17,364 hectares – this is around 0.06% to 0.07% of the total UK land area." - Lancaster University #satellitedata #earthobservation #solarfarms https://lnkd.in/eHyQ59wA

"This imagery of the Ohio River Valley shows the extent and depth of the river flooding around the Louisville, Ky., metropolitan region from earlier this week. This image was taken on April 7, 2025, during a period of clear skies after several days of very heavy rain fell across the Ohio Valley." #satellitedata #earthobservation #flooding https://lnkd.in/eyHTDwFM
