This paper aims to present a novel EO-based soil monitoring approach leveraging open-access Copernicus Sentinel data and Google Earth Engine platform. Building on key results from existing data mining approaches to extract bare soil reflectance values the current study delivers valuable insights on the synergistic use of open access optical and radar images.
The publication is part of the Showcase 4 (myEcoSystem) for which it is essential to have reliable data products over various scales to investigate ecosystem status and possible changes over time.
In the Food Security & Sustainable Agriculture showcase, the first pilot is dedicated towards support of the Group on Earth Observations Global Agricultural Monitoring Initiative (GEOGLAM).

The solar energy nowcasting system of the nextSENSE showcase was introduced in southern Asia.
Τen years have passed since the 2010 eruption in Eyjafjallajökull.
On 14 April 2010, the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull erupted explosively, hurling volcanic ash several kilometers into the atmosphere.
During the COVID-19 lockdown period, atmospheric pollution dramatically reduced in most parts of the world, becoming particularly evident over cities and industrial agglomerations. This observation has been enabled by Copernicus!
In a recent investigation by Musuuza et al. (2020), SMHI researchers demonstrate how earth observations (EO) can fill the spatial and temporal gaps in ground-based observations, whilst satellite assimilation produced consistent hydrological model outputs in a mountainous river basin in Sweden.
We are excited to announce that our partner BEYOND EO Center introduced Horizon2020-e-shape at the French Institute of Athens, Greece with great success!
The e-shape project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement 820852
