GreenEO: Satellite-based services to support sustainable land-use practices
The GreenEO project aims to provide decision-makers with advanced tools to help better manage land use, track pollution, and protect biodiversity.
Led by the Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU), the project will focus on four key areas: cities, farmlands, forests, and natural ecosystems. Specialists will integrate satellite data from EUMETSAT’s next-generation satellite programmes such as EPS-SG and MTG, with digital technologies, climate models, and machine learning.
GreenEO will facilitate the creation of practical applications such as high-resolution air quality maps, emissions tracking applications, forest fire services, and tools to monitor the health of ecosystems. The project aims to support goals of the European Green Deal, such as achieving zero pollution and protecting biodiversity.
The project brings together more than 10 partner organisations, including national meteorological and hydrological institutes and universities from across Europe.
PANORAMA: Enhancing the quality and accuracy of Earth observation products for climate action, disaster risk reduction, and sustainable development
The PANORAMA project, led by the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the University of Lille, aims to enhance atmospheric monitoring by combining multi-sensor data from EUMETSAT’s next-generation satellites. The project aims to improve Earth observation tools to support climate action, improve warnings of natural disasters, and promote sustainable development.
By using data from programmes such as MTG, EPS-SG, and Copernicus Sentinel missions, PANORAMA aims to drive the development of advanced applications, including better models for tracking atmospheric composition, enhanced tools to estimate greenhouse gas emissions, and improved weather forecasting.
The project will benefit a wide range of important areas, including nowcasting extreme weather events, climate studies, energy management, oceans, agriculture, transport, and sustainable cities initiatives.
PANORAMA will directly contribute to European Green Deal priorities, providing valuable insights to weather, climate and environmental services.
