Farewell Longyearbyen. Takk for alt! 🇳🇴My #ArcticLife has come to an end but I'll yet be back for more adventures this summer! #Svalbard 💙 #Svalbardianer4ever – at Svalbard, Norge
It's time to submit a session proposal for next year's @ESA_EO Living Planet Symposium #lps25. Check out the link below for deets👇
We are looking for ideas for peer-reviewed sessions for @esa's next Living Planet Symposium: lps25.esa.int
If you don't know what LPS is➡️held every 3 years (because it's a lot of work to put together😅) ESA’s Living Planet Symposia are among the world’s premier events on Earth observation.
The 2025 edition will be in Vienna.
#LPS25
Extremely excited that the next @ESA_EO Living Planet Symposium will take place in my hometown Vienna next year.
Save the dates: 23 - 27 June 2025
See you there!
The best news for a Monday morning:
@esa_eo next Living Planet Symposium will take place a year from now!
When: 23-27 June 2025
Where: Austria Centre, Vienna
The focus will be on how to transition from observation to climate action and sustainability for Earth. Don't miss it!
In honour of today's launch: Here's a short clip from the time we went to visit the @esa #EarthCARE in the clean room on @HarwellCampus @RAL_Space_STFC

Find me at the Cryosphere sessions #EGU24
Still not sure what sessions to follow at #EGU24?

We were all a little on edge so this is fantastic news! Thanks @esaoperations 🙏
🤩 CryoSat lives! 🤩
⛽️ A fuel leak threatened to bring @esa's ice mission to a premature end
🕹️ At @esaoperations yesterday, we swapped to its back-up propulsion system
🥵 The back-up thrusters had never been used before, in over 13 years in space...
🥳 ...and it was a success! CryoSat flies on, to continue its unparalleled record of global ice for a good while yet

ALT On 21-22 November 2023, teams at ESA's ESOC mission control centre in Darmstadt Germany added as much as 5 to 10 extra years to ESA's CryoSat ice-mapping mission. In this photo, experts from ESA and CryoSat's manufacturer, Airbus, gather around a screen to monitor the pressure inside the primary and back-up propulsion systems.
At @ESA_EO ESRIN this week. It was great to hear all the CryoTEMPO processing teams present their work on developing improved @esa_cryosat products. Thanks for letting me join the meeting.
Great to have @EoCdt students at our annual @esaclimate CCI Colocation meeting.
I saw you all chatting to our project scientists at the poster session - well impressed by the level of engagement!
Thank you to our colleagues at @esaclimate who invited some of our students to attend their recent CCI Colocation meeting. We are really grateful for these opportunities which provide excellent career development and networking
This @esa @NASA double-pair gravity mission is going to be phenomenal! Many exciting satellite missions currently being developed. #MAGIC
The temporal evolution in surge-type glacier crevasse patterns is also visible from space. In amplitude images from synthetic aperture radar, such as @ESA_EO @CopernicusEU #Sentinel-1, this is associated with changes in backscatter intensity.

Big thank you to organisers of yesterday’s Remote Sensing session at @_Arctic_Circle & all participants. Such a big turnout! So much to say, so little time. Still got questions or just want to hear more about how we monitor melting ice with satellites? I’m your contact. Ping me.
📽️ As the #ArcticCircleAssembly takes place this week, this video shows the stark sea ice losses in the region
🥵 The Arctic is experiencing disproportionately higher temperature increases compared to the rest of the planet
🛰️ Satellites such as #CryoSat provide crucial insights into this "Arctic amplification"

It’ll be an early start, I know, but anyone at @_Arctic_Circle interested in how we @esa @ESA_EO @esaclimate monitor the cryosphere with satellite data 🛰️, head over to the remote sensing session in Björtuloft at 08:30am to hear me talk about diminishing ice measured from space.
We are so glad to have you as one of our @esaclimate CCI fellows! Great kick-off meeting yesterday. Great project. Looking forward to hearing more about your work on separating thermodynamic and dynamic sea ice thickness change in the Arctic. The next two years will be ace!

Staveley superstar @fegbutcher. I am very sad to miss this! Maybe catch up another time if you are back in the Lakes.
I myself am involved in the @ESA_EO @CopernicusEU ROSE-L MAG, and it's been a fantastic ride so far!
Don't hesitate to make yourself known - if you work with passive microwave data, CIMR is your chance to get involved. We need new members to give us their scientific perspective!
If you are unsure what your role on the CIMR MAG would entail, get in touch with my @esaclimate CCI Sea Ice science lead @lavergnetho who can share some insights from his experience.

The @ESA_EO satellite mission advisory group (MAG) is a unique, interesting and professionally fulfilling experience. If you want to input scientific needs for mission design this is the moment!
For sea ice: CIMR will be the solution to past accuracy & resolution challenges. 🤩
The call to be part of the CIMR Mission Advisory Group is still open!
It's an exiting opportunity: the Advisory Group advises on the design/development of the mission in relation to the Copernicus User needs, and on scientific support activities.

ALT The Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer, CIMR, mission will carry a wide-swath conically-scanning multi-frequency microwave radiometer to provide observations of sea-surface temperature, sea-ice concentration and sea-surface salinity. Uniquely, it will also observe a wide range of other sea-ice parameters. CIMR responds to high-priority requirements from key Arctic user communities. Credits: Thales Alenia Space
