News & Events

Discover the Terrascope webinars (and webinar recordings) to see how EO data and services are used, in research activities and operational services. Experts from different sectors show how Earth observation data and services give us the possibility to achieve more.

On 19 September 2021, the Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma (Canary Islands, Spain) started to erupt for the first time since 1971. Together with the outflowing lava, the crater ejected large ash plumes containing several gases, among which sulfur dioxide (SO2). Discover how three satellite instrument allow us to map and monitor the volcano ash plumes and SO2 transport.

Climate change, sustainability, ecology,… These are all extremely important topics. But how can we make our society more sustainable to keep our planet a healthy and livable environment? To take the right actions, we first need to know the Earth's status. Through a brand new STEM teaching module (available in Dutch), students can easily identify the use and importance of remote sensing to monitor our Earth and create a more sustainable environment for everyone.

Sentinel-1 satellite, capable of observing the Earth under cloudy circumstances, shows the effects of exceptionally persistent and heavy rainfall that fell over the Ardennes, Eifel, and her surroundings in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany. Discover two Sentinel-1 images, of 9 and 15 July 2021, clearly showing the flooded areas of the Meuse river and her tributaries.

We are proud to add the Copernicus Digital Elevation Model to our list of available datasets. You can now easily access two publicly available versions of the Copernicus DEM, the GLO-30 and GLO-90, via our EO viewer.

Due to the growing use of virtual machines on Terrascope, we changed our terms of use. Read more to avoid losing any information.

Digging into our datasets is made easier for Python developers! The TerraCatalogue allows you to search through the available datasets via the web service or Python client.

Do you need more EO data processing capacity? Request our services via ESA’s Network of Resources (NoR) and get your services funded.

Are you interested in new, streamlined approaches to access satellite data and big Earth observation processing datasets without any operational hassle? View the recording of our openEO webinar and learn how it simplifies working with Earth observation data, which new possibilities it offers and see it in action in real world use cases on the Terrascope platform.
