FRONTAL: Satellite FRONTs for detection of Anthropogenic plastic Litter

In the ocean, transport and mixing processes tend to disperse matter in suspension over wide spatial (~100 km) and long temporal (~month) scales. Fronts appear at the boundary between water masses with different properties and are caused by diverse oceanic features and processes, including bottom topography. Frontal structures include tidal mixing fronts, shelf-break fronts, upwelling fronts, estuarine fronts, plume fronts, fronts generated by convergence or divergence of water masses, and frontal eddies (Acha et al. 2015; Largier 1993).

Americium Fuel Pellet Development and Medium Scale Plant Design
Over the past decade, a new and innovative European radioisotope power technology based on americium-241 has been successfully developed. Radioisotope heater units and generators rely on the provision of americium-241 radioisotope material to provide energy. A GSTP Element 1 activity with the UK has advanced the manufacturing capability of 241AM radioisotopes. This sets up an independent European capability in radioisotope power sources that will enable a range of deep space and planetary/lunar missions that are currently impossible without outside nuclear technologies.

Use of Earth Observation for sustainable fisheries management in west africa

Ghana and other coastal countries in West Africa are continuously threatened by the adverse effects of IUU fishing in the region. IUU fishing poses an enormous threat to the conservation and management of the dwindling fish stocks, causing multiple adverse consequences for fisheries, coastal and marine ecosystems and for the people who depend on these resources.
