It is surprising, but there is only one long-term (from 2000) forest cover product that distributes data every year,

Accurate measurements of solar irradiance (incoming sunlight) and radiance (light coming from a specific direction) are fundamental in Earth Observation (EO).

Understanding how soil moisture and groundwater systems respond to climate variability and extreme weather is crucial for drought management, water resources planning, and climat

Urban heat stress is one of the most pressing climate risks in the Netherlands, with strong impacts on public health, infrastructure, and energy demand.

Accurate and reliable data is demanded in water, climate and environmental studies but such data cannot be guaranteed in many countries as observation networks have deteriorated.

Urban areas experience unique microclimatic conditions due to the alteration of land surface characteristics, increased impervious surfaces, and anthropogenic heat sources.

In September 2024, Storm Boris caused massive flooding across Central Europe, causing severe damage including the collapse of the Carolabrucke in River Elbe, Dresden, Germany.

Fires are a common phenomenon during the dry season in southern Africa, as lightning strikes ignite dry vegetation, farmers burn crop residue, and hunters light light fires to flu
