Institute for Earth Observation – Eurac Research

📣 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐤𝐢𝐜𝐤-𝐨𝐟𝐟 📅 On October 23 and 24, we hosted the kick-off of the EU Horizon Europe funded project 𝐒𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐂𝐎𝐏.   🏔 💧 The project aims at improving the quantification of meltwater and ice in the Andes and beyond by unlocking the full potential of European Copernicus data and infrastructure.   Eurac Research is leading the project with Carlo Marin as the project manager, along with Valentina Premier and Riccardo Barella.   🤝 Our partners VITO (Jeroen Dries) Universidad de Chile (James McPhee) ANavS GmbH – Advanced Navigation Solutions (Patrick Henkel, Markus Lamm) IANIGLA - CONICET (Mariano Masiokas, Leandro Cara, Lucas Ruiz e Toum Ezequiel) MRI (Carolina Adler) 📷 Annelie Bortolotti/Eurac Research

📣 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐤𝐢𝐜𝐤-𝐨𝐟𝐟 📅 On October 21 and 22, we hosted the kick-off of the Interreg Alpine Space project A-DROP at our premises. 🛰 In A-DROP, we aim at enhancing the Alpine regions’ readiness to cope with water scarcity and foster sustainable water use. For this purpose, we develop drought early warning and prediction systems, and improve water management tools in the sectors of agriculture, hydropower production, and winter tourism. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eEDWARz7   🤝 Our partners: Slovene Chamber of Agriculture and Forestry - Institute of Agriculture and Forestry Maribor, Abest-Horizon, GeoSphere Austria, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Functional Center and Planning of Aosta Valley (EWS bureau), CIMA Research Foundation, INRAE, Technical University of Munich, Technische Universität Wien, University of Ljubljana, Biotechnical Faculty   #a_drop #alpine #drought #prediction   📷 Annelie Bortolotti/Eurac Research

👏👏 Un applauso alla nostra geofisica Katharina Scheidt che la scorsa settimana ha vinto il primo round del Science Slam di Bolzano, l'evento che porta la scienza sul palco! ❄️ Katharina ha intrattenuto il pubblico, descrivendo come le montagne innevate siano una fonte vitale di acqua che alimenta gli ecosistemi e le comunità sottostanti. Ma grazie al suo racconto abbiamo anche scoperto che una parte sostanziale di questa preziosa neve... sembra scomparire semplicemente nel nulla! 😱 ❗ Per altre fantastiche storie di scienza, non perdete i prossimi appuntamentI con gli Slam: 👉 Domani❗ 17/10/24 in Eurac Research 👉 Il 24/10/24 al NOI Techpark I Science Slam sono una coproduzione di Eurac Research, NOI Techpark, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano e Stiftung Südtiroler Sparkasse. 📷 Unibz/Matteo Vegetti

💥 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐊𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐝𝐭 𝐧𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐭! 💥 🎙 With a very clear, funny and engaging presentation, Katharina attracted the attention of the audience and that of the jury, who crowned her as the queen of the first round of the #ScienceSlam. 👏 Congratulations to Katharina and to all amazing science slammers who performed incredibly well last night! 👉 More information: https://lnkd.in/dBqvt6N3
