#EarthCARE made it to space! I want to thank all the teams involved for their effort, dedication and passion: we have a mission!

Setting a trend for national water quality monitoring. 💧 Our AquaWatch Australia mission, a ‘weather service’ for water quality will be established in the UK: csiro.au/en/news/All/Ne… 📷 | European Union, Copernicus Sentinel-2

Over the last 12 months, @CSIRO and @NASAJPL have been working on a joint feasibility to determine if a JPL imaging spectrometer can be used to deliver actionable information on water quality and aquatic ecosystems from space. First paper out now: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10282…

New CEOS-ARD Dataset! @CSIRO's 14 different #NovaSAR Normalised Radar Backscatter products, including ScanSAR and StripMap modes, in various polarsations, resolutions and swath widths. Congratulations to the team! Find out more: #datasets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ceos.org/ard/#datasets

This week we’re excited about new Australian tech now in orbit on a Skykraft satellite. 🚀 The CyanoSat payload is designed to detect blue-green algae from space. During this first space-flight, we plan to test the performance of the engineering design. research.csiro.au/laboratory-for…

We have taken an important step towards closer collaboration with our UK Earth Observation and Space Science friends, with the signing of a Letter of Intent with the @UKSTFC at  AVALON2023 Many thanks also to @CSIRO for our fabulous booth and facilitating so many new connections.

CEOS Plenary 2022 is underway!

New video! Summarising the support of CEOS for the #SDGs. @EO4SDG @SDGoals youtu.be/3d26ml3jxHA

Just one month left to apply for this exciting postdoc oppurtunity at @CSIRO. Come join us in Perth to advance the application of #SAR in #bushfire #risk #monitoring, and use #TLS #ULS #LiDAR for #calval jobs.csiro.au/job-invite/799…

@hmhvanmierlo Congratulations!

So proud on this success which is the result of high standards in Canadian research and innovation, dedicated support from our experienced space industry during our preparatory phases, and excellent teamwork between 🇨🇦federal government departments!

At the #SpaceSymposium in Colorado Springs with @CSIRO US and Team Australia. Looking forward to catching up with many colleagues and friends we haven’t seen in person for two years, and developing new partnerships.

The final part of our series of articles on Open Data is now live, following up on the 2021 NASA CEOS Chair theme. This article explores the future of open data: ceos.org/news/open-data… #OpenData #earthobservation Part 1: ceos.org/news/open-data… Part 2: ceos.org/news/open-data…

We have a challenge! Can you explain your research/work just using emojis? Here’s ours: 👩‍🔬🥼🧪🤓❤🤯💡📷📹📝📝📝💻🗣🔊📢🌏 Your turn! Let us know. 👇

Honoured to have been invited by @AusSpaceAgency to join the technical advisory group that developed this key doc for Australia. industry.gov.au/news/australia…. @CEOSdotORG

Earth observation data is hugely valuable to Australia – both economically and to our everyday lives. Our EO Roadmap outlines a 10-year plan to grow this area of the space sector even further. To read the Roadmap, visit: bit.ly/3cZNtbI

⬇️🚨 Schedule update: New speakers and panels including, U.S. Charge D'Affairs Mike Goldman; His Excellency Mr Shingo Yamagami, Ambassador of Japan to Australia; The Hon Ed Husic, Shadow Minister for Industry and Innovation. @USAembassyinOZ, @YamagamiShingo 🚀🛰️

What if satellite data users could access data already processed to a minimum set of requirements and formated to allow immediate analysis, w/minimal additional effort, and major interoperability w/other datasets? That's CEOS Analysis Ready Data. ceos.org/news/ceos-anal…

This is incredibly important and will be officially launched today at @COP26 @UNFCCC #EarthInformationDay: “GHG Monitoring from Space: A mapping of capabilities across public, private and hybrid satellite missions” earthobservations.org/geo_blog_obs.p… via @GEOSEC2025
