Copernicus is a European system for monitoring the Earth in support of European policy. It includes Earth Observation satellites (notably the Sentinel series developed by the European Space Agency (ESA)), ground-based measurements and, services to process data to provide users with reliable and up-to-date information through a set of Copernicus operational services related to environmental and security issues.

Sea ice covers about 7% of the Earth's surface and it has a significant influence on the local, regional and global climate environment and local communities and ecosystems. Sea ice acts like a blanket on the ocean surface, reducing the absorbed solar energy, evaporation and heat exchange between the ocean and atmosphere. When sea ice forms, most of the salt is pushed into the ocean water below the ice, as a result of higher ice concentration the water is denser and sinks to the bottom as well as the local ecosystems.

RUS Copernicus organises a full day hands-on training session focussing on the processing of Sentinel-3 data to monitor an upwelling event in the ocean.
The Sentinel-3 constellation is composed of two identical satellites, which aim at quantifying large-scale surface (both ocean and land) colour and temperature phenomena, as well as at measuring accurately the oceans and inland water bodies elevation.
This training session is designed for a beginner audience, wishing to discover Sentinel-3 data download and processing. Space is limited to 20 participants on a first-come first-served basis.

This introductory webinar will cover the fundamentals of Solar Induced Fluorescence (SIF) and LIDAR, their applications, and an overview of different satellite data sources that are openly available. In addition, it will also include a step-by-step guide on how to access, open, and interpret SIF and LIDAR data.
Academia as well as local, regional, state, federal, and international organizations interested in using satellite imagery to support applications related to vegetation studies and disasters.

The village of Avispa was hit by a flood event in 2008. 8 people died and various houses were destroyed. The high disposition for flooding still exists today. The Red Cross supports the community of Avispa in planning of protective measures. This requires a reliable hazard and risk analysis that takes into account the individuality of future events. For this purpose, the Red Cross combines qualitative and technical methods of analysis. In the presentation, these methods will be presented with a special focus on EO methods.
The ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station (ECOSTRESS) mission measures the temperature of plants to better understand how much water plants need and how they respond to stress. ECOSTRESS is attached to the International Space Station (ISS) and collects data over the conterminous United States (CONUS) as well as key biomes and agricultural zones around the world and selected FLUXNET (http://fluxnet.fluxdata.org/about/) validation sites. A map of the acquisition coverage can be found on the ECOSTRESS website (https://ecostress.jpl.nasa.gov/science).

Launch of the Knowledge Centre on Earth Observation
Actionable information from Earth observation (EO) data has become increasingly valuable to public and private efforts that improve our planet and people. The Knowledge Centre on Earth Observation will serve as a focal point to translate this data into evidence for EU policymaking decisions and implementation.
