Course: Understanding Climate Change using Satellite Data

In the coming weeks, you will meet several experts from the University of Twente and scientists from the Climate Change Initiative Programme of the European Space Agency. These experts and …

Earlier on, you have learnt about solar radiation reaching the Earth and how the energy available to the atmosphere, land, and oceans controls the climate. In this article, you will …

We will now move on to use the CATE toolbox from within Jupyter notebook to retrieve and analyse climate records of soil moisture. After doing this exercise, you will have …

In this lesson, you will learn about the main processes governing land-climate interactions, namely the energy, water and carbon cycles. You can visit the Climate Change Projects for additional information. …

In this exercise, you will access and analyse the data that were used to create the animation in the previous video. You will access 40 years of satellite-based soil moisture …

Earlier on, you learnt about global atmospheric circulation and how it creates different climate zones. In this short article, we will review the definition of weather and how weather patterns …

In this article, you will learn about global atmospheric circulation and how it creates different climate zones. The Earth is governed by two main cycles: energy and water. Each has …

You have now reached the end of this online course. You deserve a pat on your back, congratulations! In these three weeks, you have reviewed the causes of climate change, …

You have just reflected on the analyses of soil moisture data to identify and quantify droughts in Kenya. In this exercise, you will investigate the changes in the land cover …

Previously, you have reviewed how land interacts with the climate and vice versa. In the coming articles, more scientific depth on terrestrial essential climate variables will be provided. In this …

Welcome to the introduction week of this online course. In this week, you will get to know some highlights of ESA’s Climate Change Initiative contributions to the research of climate …

Earlier on, you have learnt about soil moisture as an essential climate variable and how it is used to characterise the climate-land nexus. The animation in this video (©ESA) shows …

Earlier on, you have read about the effect of human emissions of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), on the climate. This video from ESA will capitalise on this knowledge. …

Earlier on, you have learnt about the main processes governing the land-climate interactions, namely the energy, water and carbon cycles. In this article, you will develop a deeper understanding of …

Earlier on, you learnt about satellite products of essential climate variables, now you will be able to visualise and compare some of these variables using the Climate from Space web …
