Science & Technology

Un día para la curiosidad y exploración sobre qué hacer con lo valioso que tenemos, los tangibles e intangibles que heredamos de nuestros antepasados, sobre la responsabilidad que tenemos de recoger lo bueno creado por otros, sus experiencias y aprendizajes, y la oportunidad de reutilizarlo, mejorarlo y crear sobre ello. Incluso cuando creamos algo totalmente nuevo, estamos empezando una nueva historia para otros…. Y en realidad nunca lo poseemos, somos cuidadores de lo recibido y gestores de lo creado para las próximas generaciones, como un eslabón de algo perdurable y valioso.

Based on the success of the 1st CCI Global Land Cover User Workshop, ESA and UCLouvain are pleased to invite you to the 2nd CCI Global Land Cover User Workshop at ESRIN (Frascati, Italy) on the 24th of September 2018 in the context of the ESA Climate Change Initiative to share respective experiences on the CCI-LC data exploitation as well as upcoming developments.

Live from the Azores, follow the opening session of an event where world-class scientists meet to discuss the latest developments in our understanding of Earth’s surface variations observed by altimetry. Radar altimeters record the surface topography along the satellite’s ground track. They precisely measure a satellite’s height above water, land or ice by timing the interval between the transmission and reception of very short radar pulses. Programme overview (all times in CEST): 11:00-11:40 Welcome addresses by representatives from ESA, CNES, Azores Regional Government and Portuguese Government 11:40-12:00 Early Development of Satellite Altimetry 12:00-12:20 Achievements of TOPEX/Poseidon and Jason Series 12:20-12:30 Assessment of the Global Mean Sea Level Budget with Altimetry 12:30-12:40 25-Year Record of Global Mean Sea Level Change 12:40-13:00 Global Ocean Circulation from Satellite Altimetry 13:00-13:20 Satellite Altimetry and the Copernicus Marine Service 13:20-13:40 Progresses of Altimetry for Marine Ecology 13:40-13:50 The Ocean Mean Dynamic Topography 13:50-14:00 25 Years of Progress in Sea Floor Mapping 14:00-14:20 Coastal Altimetry 14:20-14:40 CryoSat-2 for Inland Water Applications 14:40-14:50 Polar Altimetry 14:50-15:00 The Younger, Thinner, Faster Arctic Sea Ice Cover Detailed programme available at www.altimetry2018.org The symposium is organised in collaboration with the French Space Agency, CNES

Apresentam-se nesta final 22 aplicações, desenvolvidas por alunos de todo o país com o apoio de professores, que têm como objetivo contribuir para a resolução de um problema da comunidade escolar. No final do evento, serão entregues os prémios.
