ASREN launched Tibr, with RedCLARA and GÉANT support, connecting regions to share research data on climate, sustainability, and more.
Projects showcased at InnovaInvest used Copernicus satellite data to help farmers and communities reduce climate risk, improve crop outcomes and guide decision-making.
EarthCARE’s spaceborne cloud radar made the first global measurements of vertical cloud motion, offering data that could improve weather prediction and climate models.
This initiative will enable more intensive and widespread use of the European earth observation program’s data.
Position, navigation and timing services rely on geodetic data, such as how fast the Earth is spinning and the tilt of its axis, collected from observatories around the globe.
Simulations of sand dune movements is just one of many examples of how space technology can help the region to protect its environment.
Raúl Zurita Milla from the University of Twente conducts pioneering green wave studies with big data, thanks to the Netherlands eScience Centre Center, which was founded ten years ago.
A huge network of optical fibre runs underground across Australia, delivering the internet on light pulses. Optical fibre is very sensitive to vibration, making it an option for recording the Earth’s tremors.
A new European initiative, Destination Earth, will use models of Earth sub-systems to assist authorities in preparing for extreme weather events related to climate change.
Research networks and mirror sites for Himawari Real-time enable fast, reliable access to satellite imagery.
Digital Earth Africa is helping to build a better future for Africa and NRENs are playing a critical role in making this happen.
Weather satellites provide raw data for weather and climate models. EUMETSAT collects this raw data and distributes the processed data to weather institutes in its member countries, such as the Dutch KNMI. The institutes themselves contribute to the processing of the data. How does this work, how are the data distributed, and what is SURF’s role?
