ESA missions help to reveal worldwide lake water loss trend
According to the study, approximately 25% of the world's population currently resides in the vicinity of a large, dwindling lake. This finding emphasizes the critical necessity of enhancing sustainable practices in the management of these shrinking water bodies.
Remote sensing missions to contribute to the research include CryoSat – which is an ESA Earth Explorer – and Envisat, which is an ESA Heritage Mission.

Explore SEPAL for enhanced forest and land monitoring
The course focuses on how the SEPAL platform can support land and forest monitoring. It will guide you through selected functionalities and applications of the platform, and frameworks, systems and processes for forest and land monitoring for climate action.
It supports knowledge and skills development to operationally apply high-resolution satellite imagery to critical forest and land monitoring in tropical forest countries.
The course is open to all interested in digital platforms and tools for forest and land monitoring, and covers the following topics:
🛰️ Institutionalization of forest data
🛰️ Introducing SEPAL for forest and land monitoring
🛰️ High-integrity measurement, reporting and verification
🛰️ Monitoring of forest and ecosystem restoration
🛰️ Peatland mapping and monitoring
A special thanks to Rocio Condor who shared this information with me.
