APEL: Assessment of atmospheric optical Properties during biomass burning Events and Long-range transport of desert dust

The main scope of this activity was to foster the exchange of expertise between the European Lidar Network (EARLINET) and Latin America Lidar Network (LALINET), and demonstrate the capability of joint research, setting the groundwork for GALION (The Global Atmosphere Watch Aerosol Lidar Observation Network) and future calibration/validation of ESA’s atmospheric satellite missions such as Aeolus and EarthCARE.

High Altitude Pseudo Satellites for Telecommunication and Complementary Space Applicaions (HAPPIEST)

The development of High Altitude Pseudo-Satellites (HAPS) has reached an outstanding level of maturity, with several flight demonstrations that augur soon to have operational capabilities. ESA, aware of the synergies among satellite and HAPS services, set up the HAPPIEST study to analyse the impact of the erruption of aerostatic HAPS into the telecommunications market, currently covered by space and terrestrial networks. Furthermore, some complementary payloads can serve interesting applications such as Earth observation and navigation services.

Antarctic Ice Sounding Experiment using ESA’s P-band Polarimetric Sounder

Space-based radio echo sounding of the continental ice sheets can potentially provide full coverage with uniform sampling and data quality as well as detection of change in environmentally sensitive areas. This research addresses the feasibility of sounding the Antarctic ice sheets with a space-based P-band radar. The assessment makes use of an electromagnetic model of the ice sheets where most of the model parameters are estimated from data that have been acquired in Antarctica with an airborne P-band ice sounding radar.

InSAR based tarrain motion mapping in support of landslide hazard assessment in high mountain areas

Landslides are a well-known but so far less-investigated hazard and risk in the Cordillera Blanca. In this pilot study, EO information in combination with in-situ measurements and modelling was applied for investigating and monitoring landslide processes in this mountain region.

Ionospheric Sounding for Identification of Pre-seismic Activity

The INSPIRE project is dedicated to the study of physical processes and their effects in ionosphere which could be determined as earthquake precursors together with detailed description of the methodology of ionospheric pre-seismic anomalies definition.

Crowd4Sat: Crowdsourcing for Observations from Satellites

The Crowd4Sat project explored a range of crowdsourcing methodologies and technologies, from opportunistic sourcing ­ the ability to extract relevant data from unrelated activities ­ to participatory sourcing, where citizens and authorities explicitly participate in the data collection. The crowdsourced data and information collected ranged from real time pollution data from cars (via the The Floow's technologies who have hundreds of thousands of users on four continents), to crowdsourced geotagged images from sites like Panoramio, Flicker and Twitter, to social media messages (e.g.
