Satellites have a really important role to play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Tropomi instrument onboard the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite is the only instrument that maps global...

Comprehensive global monitoring of greenhouse gas concentrations and fluxes is needed to fully understand the dynamics of climate change and to support mitigation actions. Two workshops held in September...

The Tropomi instrument onboard the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite is the only satellite instrument that produces a global map of methane concentrations every day. The satellite measures methane by observing...

The 4 th Carbon from Space Workshop took place in 2022 to review this progress and identify priorities in understanding the terrestrial carbon cycle for the next five year period...

The Arctic, once again at the forefront of climate change, is experiencing disproportionately higher temperature increases triggering a series of cascading effects known as Arctic amplification. Satellites developed...

From satellites that can pinpoint the sources of industrial pollution, to others that track hurricane movements by the hour, space has emerged as a key front in the fight against climate change...

A team of researchers estimated the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from coal-fired power plants and other major anthropogenic point sources in the South African Highveld region using...

Following unusual seismic disturbances in the Baltic Sea, several leaks were discovered last week in the underwater Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines, near...

Levels of methane, the second most important greenhouse gas in our atmosphere, continued their unrelenting rise in 2020 despite the economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Living Planet Symposium was an excellent opportunity for exchanges between various stakeholders, contractors, users and potential users of the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service.
