Mottinelli, Lorenza (author)Understanding the role of ocean swell, monitoring and modelling it is critical for a diverse range of oceanographic research, coastal management initiatives and for better weather forecasting and climate modelling. <br/>Currently, swell measurements are obtained through in-situ measurements, wave models, and satellite measurements. So far, swell...master thesis 2023

Klein Holkenborg, Emie (author)Small to medium-sized man-made freshwater reservoir are a reliable source for drinking water supply, hydropower generation and irrigation purposes worldwide. However, water volumes in these reservoirs can be significantly affected by prolonged droughts, resulting in severe impacts on society (Kozacek, 2014; Mahr, 2018). To mitigate the impact of...master thesis 2023

Timmermans, J. (author), Daniel Kissling, W. (author)Satellite remote sensing (SRS) provides huge potential for tracking progress towards conservation targets and goals, but SRS products need to be tailored towards the requirements of ecological users and policymakers. In this viewpoint article, we propose to advance SRS products with a terrestrial biodiversity focus for tracking the goals and...journal article 2023

Siemons, M. E. (author), Hagenaar, M. (author), Adam, A.J.L. (author), Kohlhaas, R. (author)Recently a spectrometer concept has been invented which uses compressive sensing in combination with photonic crystal filters. Here we present an adaption of this concept in push-broom configuration for earth observation. This implementation allows for a compact design, while maintaining a high spatial resolution and high signal-to-noise...conference paper 2023

Falckenheiner Soria, Sebastian (author)Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR) have demonstrated to be great instruments for space-based Earth observation in the microwave frequency. Metasurface antennas, on the other side, are a new type of planar antennas with a great potential for space applications, as they are compact and easy to produce. Several methods have been developed in the past...master thesis 2022

Nanda, S. (author)Aerosols are the source of the largest uncertainties in our climate models, blurring our outlook of the future. This has been attributed to the complexity of measuring their properties, which vary over time and space. Atmospheric circulation spreads aerosols across the globe from a point source, which makes satellite-based observations lucrative...doctoral thesis 2022

Maffei, C. (author)Forest fires are a major ecosystem disturbance at global scale, put pressure on agencies in charge of citizens and infrastructure security and cause unvaluable human losses. Fires are controlled by multiple static and dynamic drivers related to topography, land cover, climate, weather, and anthropic activity. Among these, weather is an active...doctoral thesis 2022

Hessels, T.M. (author), Davids, Jeffrey C. (author), Bastiaanssen, W.G.M. (author)Strategic planning of water management at the river-basin scale requires (1) measurement and accounting of individual hydrological processes, (2) quantification of water resources, and (3) their optimal allocation. Scalable Water Balances from Earth Observations (SWEO) is an open-access parameterization enabling automated reporting of water...journal article 2022

(author), Snik, Frans (author), Stam, D.M. (author)Does life exist outside our Solar System A first step towards searching for life outside our Solar System is detecting life on Earth by using remote sensing applications. One powerful and unambiguous biosignature is the circular polarization resulting from the homochirality of biotic molecules and systems. We aim to investigate the...conference paper 2022

de Roda Husman, S. (author), Hu, Zhongyang (author), Wouters, B. (author), Munneke, Peter Kuipers (author), Veldhuijsen, Sanne (author), Lhermitte, S.L.M. (author)Surface melt is an important driver of ice shelf disintegration and its consequent mass loss over the Antarctic Ice Sheet. Monitoring surface melt using satellite remote sensing can enhance our understanding of ice shelf stability. However, the sensors do not measure the actual physical process of surface melt, but rather observe the presence...journal article 2022

Devabhaktuni, Chakravarthy (author)With climate change being a prime source of concern around the world, air pollution is a topic that requires special attention. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to track and measure the emissions in our environment for detecting the sources and understating the climate change so as to figure out possible solutions. Despite ongoing...master thesis 2021

(author), van Dijk, Chris (author), Esposito, Marco (author)LOUPE, the Lunar Observatory for Unresolved Polarimetry of the Earth, is a small, robust spectro-polarimeter for observing the Earth as an exoplanet. Detecting Earth-like planets in stellar habitable zones is one of the key challenges of modern exoplanetary science. Characterizing such planets and searching for traces of life requires the...journal article 2021

Heywood, Joseph (author)NASA's ICE, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) has been measuring the topography of the Earth's surface since its launch in September 2018. Equipped with a single instrument, namely, the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS), ICESat-2 is able to acquire the along track vertical profiles of its laser footprints. While...master thesis 2020

Vermeulen, Sander (author)The GRACE mission has provided unprecedented insights into mass redistribution processes in the Earth system. Following a strong call for continuation of the mass observations, the GRACE-Follow On (GRACE-FO) mission was launched in May 2018, leaving a coverage gap of ca. 1 year between GRACE and GRACE-FO. Geopotential solutions derived from data...master thesis 2019
