Data Intelligence

The continuously growing amount of environmental data relies on new efficient ways of data storage & handling to make use of the information contained therein

Earth Observation (EO)

Satellite and airborne derived data provide a wide variety of sources to get insight into the status and trends of the earth’s surface composition

European Topic Centres

space4environment is a long-time member of the European Topic Centre Urban, Land and Soil systems (ETC ULS) which transformed into the European Topic Centre on Data Integration and Digitalisation (ETC DI) and was member of the former European Topic Centre on Biological Diversity (ETC BD). Our work in the ETCs spans over a very diverse range of thematic as well as technical subjects covering topics such as land accounting and ecosystem services to data flow management and application of technical solutions like data cubes, automated scripting and business intelligence.

Ecosystems & Biodiversity

Ecosystems and biodiversity are under constant pressure. Holistic and systemic approaches are needed to protect and restore endangered species and degrading or degraded ecosystems.

Land Management

The mapping of land cover (biophysical description of the earth) and land use (socio-economic functional dimension) is indispensable for assessing the impact of land management processes.

Policy Support and Project Management

The implementation of policies requires ready-made information and knowledge products. Geospatial information is one solution for gaining this knowledge.

EU Grassland Watch

The EU Grassland Watch project and its predecessor COP4N2K is developing an unprecedented service to support monitoring and management of currently almost 3700 grassland-dominated Natura2000 sites by using Copernicus data. Producing very long time series of land use/land cover data changes (since 1994) for monitoring the development of those Natura2000 sites, biophysical parameters provided by means of semi-automated processing of Copernicus satellite and land monitoring service data are used to for the development and calculation of grassland status and change indicators. space4environment was in charge of the project lead, indicator definition and analysis, quality control of the EO products, and support to communications.

FAIRiCUBE

As part of the FAIRiCUBE project, space4environment is applying big data and is supporting cities to make well-informed decisions when addressing climate change’s multifaceted impacts. Together with its project partners, space4environment, is creating a data space that brings together data from different fields and sources in a user-friendly framework and provide users, whether they are spatial data experts or not, with a FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and TRUSTable (Transparency, Responsibility, User focus, Sustainability, and Technology) platform for scientific analysis.
