How near-real-time Earth observations enable meteorologists to deliver timely aviation forecasts.

Our cities are under pressure from the complexities of climate change and rapid urbanisation. The EU-funded CURE project leveraged the power of Earth Observation satellites to address these issues, aiming to create safer, more sustainable EU cities.

A new algorithm for satellite radar data may hold the key to resolving issues in observing precipitation observation issues in unique and challenging physical environments like the Tibetan Plateau.

Satellite data from 1991 to 2020 show heavier summer rainfall that is likely to continue

The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and the University of Bonn have renewed their partnership, reinforcing their commitment to leveraging space technology in response to growing threats from natural and human-made disasters.

Using data collected from a 2022 magnitude 6.8 earthquake in Luding County in China's Sichuan Province, researchers have tested whether Global Navigation Satellite System observations could be used for rapid prediction of earthquake-triggered landslides.

The impacts of climate change are escalating, compounded by urban expansion into fire-prone areas. Eight cutting-edge technologies have the potential to revolutionize wildfire risk reduction strategies.

Researchers have developed a new model that combines generative AI and satellite data to accurately forecast wildfire spread.
