OBSGESSION

Observation of Ecosystem Changes for Action

OBSGESSION strives to advance the understanding of direct and indirect drivers of biodiversity change through integrating Earth Observation methods, in-situ observations, and state-of-the-art ecological modelling. The project addresses science-policy gaps, supports conservation planning, and helps share knowledge for effective engagement of international and EU stakeholders in ecosystem and biodiversity management.

BioClima

Assessing Land use, Climate and Biodiversity impacts of land-based climate mitigation and biodiversity policies in the EU

The BioClima project proposal significantly advances beyond the current state-of-the-art in several key areas, showcasing ambitious and ground-breaking research and innovation (R&I) efforts.

ECO MOSAIC

Ecosystem Monitoring and Scaling for Climate Change Impacts

The ECO-MOSAIC (Ecosystem Monitoring and Scaling for Climate Change Impacts) project develops an open, scalable framework to monitor how climate change alters terrestrial ecosystems across Europe. Building on ESA Climate Change Initiative datasets and other satellite Earth Observation products, the project links Essential Biodiversity Variables and Essential Climate Variables with in-situ monitoring networks and advanced AI models to understand the impact of the climate change extreme event on species distribution. ECO-MOSAIC will generate spatially explicit indicators of ecosystem condition, resilience, exposure, and change at multiple spatial and temporal scales, supporting conservation planning and ambitious climate adaptation policies. The project will co-produce methods and open-source tools for users, ensuring interoperability, transparency, and uptake in policy and practice. Ultimately, ECO-MOSAIC aims to deliver transferable workflow and decision-ready information for scientists, land managers, policy makers worldwide, and other users of

EO4ALL

EO4ALL

Inclusive Earth Observation for all (EO4all) is a working group started by women academics in EO science at ITC. The working group aims are to enhance ITC's visibility in the EO community and policy fields, advance EO science, benefit from new policies related to gender equality (inclusion) and diversity and enrich student and project acquisitions from new partnerships and target groups.

Earth Observation for Biodiversity Modelling

EO4DIVERSITY

The main objective of EO4Diversity is to predict and monitor biodiversity in terrestrial ecosystems using an innovative approach that integrates for the first time the scientific strengths of high-resolution multi-sensor Earth Observation imagery and products from next-generation ecological models. The project addresses important biodiversity science gaps, including forecasting ecological degradation in order to define effective actions to reduce terrestrial biodiversity loss, as well as filling data gaps, knowledge gaps, and gaps in the data-policy link, which may lead to a disconnection of biodiversity data and policy strategies.

E-shape

e-shape is a unique initiative that brings together decades of public investment in Earth Observation and cloud capabilities into services for decision-makers, citizens, industry, and researchers.
It allows Europe to position itself as global force in Earth observation through leveraging Copernicus, making use of existing European capacities and improving user uptake of the data from GEO assets.
