🚀 Exciting News: The Green Energy Transition: evapotranspiration and renewable energy for Austria (GET-ET) Project already started! 🌍🌱⚡
Cities and urban areas are evolving to become more climate-resilient, liveable, and sustainable - and Austria is taking a leading role! With climate change progressing faster than the global average, innovative solutions are essential to mitigate risks like extreme urban heat, glacier melting, and increasing energy demands.
🌿 Introducing the GET-ET Project! 🌍 This groundbreaking initiative aims to support climate adaptation strategies through Earth Observation (EO) technology, integrating satellite data and in-situ monitoring to enhance decision-making for climate resilience and renewable energy planning.
🔍 Our Focus Areas:
✅ Sustainable Cities – High-resolution evapotranspiration maps using Copernicus Sentinel-2 data to support urban green areas, agriculture, and forestry.
✅ Energy Transition – Data-driven insights on renewable energy potential for Austria in 2030–2040, providing valuable policy guidance and business opportunities.
💡 A huge thank you to our incredible partners (GRÜNSTATTGRAU, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU), AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, EOX IT Services GmbH) for their dedication, expertise, and collaboration in making this project a reality! Your contributions are instrumental in driving innovation and climate resilience forward.
GET-ET project is financed by the FFG Austrian Research Promotion Agency.
