Radar vision

Discover how Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission uses its radar to provide an all-weather, day-and-night supply of imagery of Earth’s surface.

Helping to manage water

Discover how satellites can help collecting information on water resources at over large areas.

Learn about sea level

Learn how climate change is causing our seas to rise and how satellites have been measuring the height of the sea surface systematically since 1992.

The Electromagnetic Spectrum – Introduction

Learn about the electromagnetic spectrum and how satellites can see the invisible. Video by ESERO Germany (in English).

The Electromagnetic Spectrum – Advanced

Explore what satellites can see with their sensors and learn about the properties of the electromagnetic waves. Video by ESERO Germany (in English).

Images from Space

Learn how satellites can help us monitoring our planet. Video by ESERO Germany (in English).

The spatial resolution

The observation of our planet with the help of satellites largely depends on the different characteristics of their sensors. The spatial resolution, that is explained in this video, is one of these characteristics. Video by ESERO Germany (in English).

Causes and Consequences

In this short video, Dr Natalie Douglas, a climate scientist, explains what could be some of the causes and consequences of climate change and why a 0.5 degree of temperature difference can be so important. Natalie is a Teaching and Research Fellow at the University of Surrey and is collaborating with us on the Climate […]

Ocean views

Ice and snow can be a hot topic when talking about climate. The polar regions are very fragile and can tell us a lot about how Earth’s climate is changing. Andrew Shepherd of the University of Leeds is a leading climate scientist working with ESA and NASA. In this episode he explains how we can […]

The spectral resolution

Earth observation satellites are guardians of our planet. Thanks to remote sensing technology and daily data collection, researchers are able to better monitor our planet’s oceans and rising sea levels from space. ESA senior advisor for Earth Observation programmes Jérôme Beneviste explains how ocean views from space play a role in climate change studies and […]
