Spatial Processing

Application of state-of-the-art technologies to derive environmental information from spatial data to be presented by business intelligence

Data Intelligence

The continuously growing amount of environmental data relies on new efficient ways of data storage & handling to make use of the information contained therein

Earth Observation (EO)

Satellite and airborne derived data provide a wide variety of sources to get insight into the status and trends of the earth’s surface composition

European Topic Centres

space4environment is a long-time member of the European Topic Centres on Biological Diversity (ETC/BD) and Urban, Land and Soil systems (ETC/ULS) which recently transformed into the European Topic Centre on Data Integration and Digitalisation (ETC/DI). Through the ETCs we are involved in a very diverse range of projects covering both thematic as well as technical subjects. Our work includes the whole value chain from data acquisition, handling and analysis through different technical solutions like data cubes, over managing data flows up to processing the data for thematic assessments and indicators. Using a broad field of specialized tools such as automated scripting in big data pools, data manipulation and classification or business intelligence our aim is always to obtain as much information from the data as possible presenting these by user-friendly visualizations. We implemented such projects for themes like land accounting and resource use efficiency, green infrastructure, ecosystems and their services, or urban sustainability and adaptation.

Ecosystems And Biodiversity

Ecosystems and biodiversity are under constant pressure. Holistic and systemic approaches are needed to protect and restore endangered species and degrading or degraded ecosystems.

Land Management

The mapping of land cover (biophysical description of the earth) and land use (socio-economic functional dimension) is indispensable for assessing the impact of land management processes.

Policy Support and Project Management

The implementation of policies requires ready-made information and knowledge products. Geospatial information is one solution for gaining this knowledge.

COP4N2k

The COP4N2K project is developing an unprecedented service to support monitoring and management of currently more than 3800 grassland-dominated Natura2000 sites by using Copernicus data: EU Grassland Watch. Next to the infrastructural development of the web tool, the project produces very long time series of land use/land cover changes (since 1994) for monitoring the development of those Natura2000 sites. At the same time, biophysical parameters are provided by means of semi-automated processing of Copernicus satellite and land monitoring service data. These land use/land cover data are the basis for the development and calculation of a number of grassland status and change indicators. space4environment is in charge of the project lead, indicator definition and analysis, quality control of the EO products, and support to communications.
