Congratulations to #Spain for their victory at the UEFA EURO 2024 Football Championship, well deserved! We aligned with an internal charity bet game: The top 10 were quite a surprise for all who still believe football expertise to be a "male thing". Our female colleagues hold places 2, 3, 4, 6, and 10. This share and the great fun we had throughout the tournament nicely mirror our company culture. Now, it is on the winner Mostaan Nabi to decide where we donate the betting stake. A huge thanks to Philipp Bauer, who made us (almost) all catch the football fever. The image shows one of our regular beach soccer events at "Alpaka Beach", evenings full of passionate matches. If you are eager to join our team (if you don't like soccer, we also play beach volleyball), here is our recent job post for a Working Student in Marketing: https://lnkd.in/eb9xer3d #teamspirit #football #job #earthobservation

Meet Edward Albada at the Esri User Conference on 16th and 17th July in San Diego, California! He’ll showcase which key insights on aquatic environments local, regional or national stakeholders can gain using satellite data. These help water or environmental #authorities better keep control and decide upon facts. They can for instance 🌎 map habitats and baselines, 🏝️ look back in time to unveil shoreline changes, 💦 or monitor algal blooms in drinking water reservoirs. Sometimes within mouse clicks. #hydrospatial #environment #water #monitoring #bathymetry

Thanks for highlighting the impressive recent uptake of SDB and the support from the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO). Here, you can access the PR with a direct link to IHO's "Satellite-Derived Bathymetry Best Practice Guide" elaborated by the SDB Project Team: https://lnkd.in/dQHfaDjU We can only confirm positive feedback from hydrographers and industry partners worldwide using our physics-based SDB, e.g. for 📍 survey planning 📍 mapping remote areas 📍 and filling data gaps. Get in touch with our SDB team for demo data or more! 👉 shallowwater@eomap.de #remotesensing #bathymetry #teamwork #innovation #hydrography

Another summer snapshot from the Baltic Sea, this time it is the Gulf of #Riga, that Latvia (South) shares with Estonia (North). If this also reminds you of a dragon's head, his "eye" is Ruhnu Island, whereas the red/orange "horn" is the inflow of the Pärnu river. In the framework of our contract with Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie (Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency), we are monitoring water quality parameters such as Chlorophyll-a and Total Suspended Matter (TSM) in the entire Baltic and North Seas. This is rewarding in many ways, and sometimes we are particularly rewarded by fascinating imagery like this. Here is the link to BSH's portal: https://lnkd.in/drYVY9fz For more details on water quality monitoring, please get in touch with Hendrik Bernert and our #waterquality team.

🌊 The deep-blue sea is turning a touch greener. The color of the ocean surface is indicative of the ecosystem that lies beneath. Communities of phytoplankton, microscopic photosynthesizing organisms, abound in near-surface waters and are foundational to the aquatic food web and carbon cycle. This shift in the water’s hue confirms a trend expected under #climatechange and signals changes to ecosystems within the global ocean, which covers 70 percent of Earth’s surface. Ocean surface color changed between 2002 and 2022, with darker shades of green representing more-significant differences “these are places we can detect a change in the ocean ecosystem in the last 20 years.” Ocean color trend that had been predicted by climate modeling, because the natural variability in chlorophyll is high relative to the climate change trend. Surface waters have absorbed excess heat from the warming climate, and as a result, they are less prone to mixing with deeper, more nutrient-rich layers. This scenario would favor plankton adapted to a nutrient-poor environment. The areas of ocean color change align well with where the sea has become more stratified. NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) satellite, set to launch in 2024, will return observations in finer color resolution. The new data will enable researchers to infer more information about ocean ecology, such as the diversity of phytoplankton species and the rates of phytoplankton growth. https://lnkd.in/e24EJhhC

How do we map the bottom of the ocean? - Nick Klenske interviewed Knut Hartmann for this article by CORDIS, a platform of the European Commission. "Ask an Expert" is a new series of online articles, where CORDIS seeks answers from EU researchers to everyday questions. The articles are designed to inform non-expert users about EU-funded research work, such as our 4S project. Click on the image to read the interview!

Algal blooms in the Baltic Sea - this annual phenomenon keeps fascinating us. Daily, we derive water quality measurements on the entire Baltic and North Seas from various #satellite sensors and deliver them to Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie (Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency). BSH publishes these monitoring data here: https://lnkd.in/dsDQB36e We're very likely to see growing coastal phytoplankton blooms along with rising water temperatures. Here is some scientific background: "Many algal blooms are beneficial, fixing carbon at the base of the food chain and supporting fisheries and ecosystems worldwide. However, proliferations of algae that cause harm - so-called harmful algal blooms (HABs) - have become a major environmental problem worldwide," experts say in this paper published in Nature Portfolio: https://lnkd.in/gx-jujzf But for now, let's enjoy the mere beauty of the image! P.S. If you wish to try eoapp AQUA to see if algal blooms are evolving in a water body of your interest, please click on the image or get in touch! https://lnkd.in/dY4tDShN 📷 Our colleague Hendrik Bernert captured this pic on 25 June 2024, a day in the Baltic around Gotland with almost no clouds, using Sentinel-3 data. #hydrospatial #earthobservation #algae #baltic #globalwarming #copernicus

On occasion of #WorldHydrographyDay 2024, one of the most experienced hydrographers, Stewart Dunne, answered 7 questions on hydrography. In this interview with Knut Hartmann, the Former Hydrographer of #Australia shares his personal views on transforming work practices, the uptake of new technologies and upcoming trends he sees in the hydrographic domain. Thanks Stewart, for these great insights! Since 2006, #WHD has been proclaimed by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) to raise awareness for hydrography and its role in better understanding our seas and oceans. So, we say „cheers“ to all involved in hydrography and wish you all the best for the challenges ahead! 👉 Read the full interview either here https://lnkd.in/dWvV_Q9t or by clicking on the image 💡 ... and let us have your comments on these topics! #hydrospatial #bathymetry #marinesafety #hydrography #WHD #innovation #earthobservation
