Replenishing the Small Water Cycle Towards a More Resilient Agriculture
isardSAT is diving deep into the small water cycle, aiming to boost agricultural resilience. This project focuses on replenishing local water cycles to support farming systems that can withstand climate variability. By harnessing Earth Observation technologies, it’s all about understanding and managing water resources better, ensuring crops get what they need even when conditions get tough.
Main Benefits of the MAENA Project
Here’s what makes this project stand out:
- Enhances water availability for agriculture through improved cycle management
- Supports climate-resilient farming practices
- Utilizes advanced Earth Observation data for precise monitoring
- Promotes sustainable water use in vulnerable regions
Altimeter and Radiometer Performance Assessment for ESA Next Generation Altimetry Missions
This project is all about pushing the boundaries of satellite altimetry. By assessing the performance of altimeters and radiometers, isardSAT contributes to the success of ESA’s next-gen altimetry missions. These instruments are crucial for measuring sea surface height, ice thickness, and other vital Earth parameters with unprecedented accuracy.
Innovative Remote Sensing Tools to Mitigate Climate Change in Agriculture and Forest Areas in Catalonia
In Catalonia, isardSAT is developing cutting-edge remote sensing tools designed to tackle climate change head-on. These tools help monitor agricultural lands and forests, providing data that supports mitigation strategies. The focus is on creating actionable insights that can guide sustainable land management and reduce environmental impact.
CRISTAL Level-2 Processor Prototype for Land Ice and Inland Waters
The CRISTAL project is crafting a Level-2 processor prototype that targets land ice and inland water bodies. This processor is key for transforming raw satellite data into meaningful information, enabling better monitoring of glaciers, lakes, and rivers. It’s a step forward in understanding how these critical water resources are changing over time.
