Climate Change Initiative Project Management16/11/2010 |
| GAF AG, Germany, provides its industrial project management competence to the Fire Disturbance project (‘Fire_cci') as part of the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative. This was set up by ESA to use the full potential of the long-term global Earth observation archives of ESA's and other agencies satellite missions. One of the ECVs is on the detection of burned areas. Burned biomass is considered to contribute to a large amount to the release of greenhouse gases and CO2 in the atmosphere and thus is an important factor in climate change. |

The following activities are foreseen:
GAF AG is responsible for project management and contributes to the validation of information products and promotion of the project and its products. GAF Project Manager Richard Theis observes: "We are excited to be part of this outstanding team. We are looking forward to providing GAF's 25 year experience in operational application of satellite remote sensing to the Climate Change Initiative."

Using Total Stations for Indoor Radiation Mapping |
|
A total station can be used for many applications. Oak Ridge Associated Universities (USA) uses a total station for indoor radiation characterisation, which enables the team to better perform environmental assessments. This video shows how it is done.
