Webinar with Ben Poulter (Spark Climate Solutions, USA)
Rising greenhouse-gas emissions from human activities are causing rapid changes to Earth’s climate. Despite efforts to mitigate emissions to limit warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius, changes in temperature appear to be heading for a temporary overshoot with unknown temperature peak and duration, and impacts to the Earth system. Climate overshoot, i.e., temporarily exceeding a temperature limit, is a relatively new concept, and the associated impacts, mitigation and adaptation needs are an active area of research.
ISSI welcomes Dr. Htet Yamin Ko Ko who will study how geospatial and satellite images can help us manage the effects of rising temperatures in cities.
A groundbreaking new study led by Marta Marcos, Discipline Scientist at the International Space Science Institute (ISSI), has revealed that the number of extreme marine heatwave days has nearly tripled since the 1940s—a dramatic shift driven largely by human-induced climate change.
The International Space Science Institute (ISSI) in Bern, Switzerland, is thrilled to announce Dr. Benjamin Poulter from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, USA, as the upcoming 2025 Johannes Geiss Fellow. This fellowship offers an exceptional opportunity for established researchers to advance innovative and interdisciplinary work in space and Earth science.
Roland Hohensinn’s research underscores the importance of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) in both long-term geophysical monitoring and rapid-response applications, contributing valuable insights to the field of natural hazard assessment.
International experts converge to explore the role of Earth Observation in enhancing blue carbon ecosystems for climate change mitigation.
ISSI Forum sparks breakthrough guidance for remote sensing collaborations to monitor climate tipping points
