Description
Summary:Given the increasing challenges presented by climate change, understanding and monitoring the dynamics of permafrost regions in the Arctic have gained paramount importance. Permafrost, a critical component of the Arctic ecosystem, is highly susceptible to the effects of global warming, exerting profound impacts on both environmental and socioeconomic facets. In purview of it, the EO-PERSIST project is a 4 years MSCA staff exchanges project funded by EU aiming to leverage existing services, datasets, and innovative technologies to establish a consistently updated ecosystem with Earth Observation (EO)-based datasets suitable for permafrost applications. By harnessing advanced EO technologies, including innovative tools and datasets such as cloud platforms, and tapping into an extensive array of remote sensing datasets, EO-PERSIST aims to revolutionize the monitoring and assessment of permafrost dynamics. The project will promote methodological advancements in the field of permafrost by leveraging the huge ...
