Despite summer wildfires and the expansion of urban and agricultural areas, Mediterranean mountains have experienced extensive afforestation during the last 70 years. This has largely been a consequence of the abandonment of these areas and the loss of their traditional management strategies. Afforestation processes not just imply an important heritage loss as cultural...

This contract is the result of the response to the Invitation to Tender (ITT) DE_393: Development and Implementation of Climate Emulator for Destination Earth (DestinE) which has been issued by ECMWF.

Launched in 2022, Destination Earth (DestinE) is a European Union-funded initiative aimed at building a highly accurate digital replica of the Earth system by 2030. This digital...

Classical sources and archaeological data coincide in identifying the existence of transhumant movements in the Apennines duringthe Roman period. However, there is little evidence on how and when it started, what was its socioeconomic context and environmental consequences. This is hardly surprising since, up to now, a multidisciplinary approach integrating landscape...

The number and diversity of embedded FPGA SoC (System On Chip) in modern satellites is increasing and so it is the complexity and cost to use them efficiently and safely. With the emergence of these platforms, software architects and developers are facing increasingly difficult challenges to (i) optimize the deployment of software to efficiently use the available resources,...

Cloud, aerosols and their interactions are key regulators of climate. However, uncertainties in the magnitude of the net cooling impact of aerosols on climate and in the cloud response to evolving anthropogenic emissions and climate change induced feedbacks on natural emissions are major challenges that limit our understanding of how global and regional climate, including...

The European Union's flagship Space programme Copernicus provides a key service to the European society, turning investments inspace-infrastructure into high-quality information products.

The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS, https://atmosphere.copernicus.eu) exploits the information content of Earth-Observation data to monitor the...

EDITO-Model Lab will prepare the next generation of ocean models, complementary to Copernicus Marine Service to be integrated into the EU public infrastructure of the European Digital Twin Ocean (EDITO) that will ensure access to required input and validation data (from EMODnet, EuroGOOS, ECMWF, Copernicus Services and Sentinels satellite observations) and to high-performance...

Monitoring the composition of the atmosphere is a key objective of the European Union's flagship Space programme, Copernicus. The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) provides free and continuous data and information on atmospheric composition and the CAMS Service Evolution (CAMEO) project will enhance the quality and efficiency of the CAMS service and help CAMS to...

To support EU countries in assessing their progress for reaching their targets agreed in the Paris Agreement, the European Commission has clearly stated that an objective way to monitor anthropogenic CO2 emissions is needed. Such a capacity will deliver consistent and reliable information to support policy- and decision-making processes. To maintain Europe's independence in...

Deep Learning (DL) techniques are key for most future advanced software functions in Critical Autonomous AI-based Systems (CAIS) in cars, trains and satellites. Hence, those CAIS industries depend on their ability to design, implement, qualify, and certify DL-basedsoftware products under bounded effort/cost.There is a fundamental gap between Functional Safety (FUSA)...
