15:45 – 16:30 Hands-on pilot presentation
- Alessandra Belve, Business Development Officer, Planetek, Rheticus® (Workshop presentation): Aquafarmers faces new challenges due to the impact of extreme events mostly related to climate change, leading to changes in the sea temperature and phytoplankton, affecting growth rates and mortality of shellfishes and, therefore, the productivity of farms and the quality of products. As a consequence, aquafarmers can’t rely totally on well-known and established farming practices. Using satellite data and derived measurements of water parameters and a model for shellfish growth, Planetek is delivering Rheticus® Aquaculture service, providing information to aquafarmers about mussels’ growth rates, consisting of weekly bulletins with indicators calculated by the algorithms.
- Marco Folegani, Founder and Project Manager, MEEO, FRIEND (worskhop presentation): This pilot aims at assessing the flood risk in selected areas, its impact on urban areas and the associated risk for population. It will use Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data and relevant processing chains to generate time-series of imagery and automatically detect changes within a given period. The output will be exposed through the MEEO (pilot coordinator) platform whose data cube technology will be enriched with additional relevant datasets to provide both citizens and experts with a Flood Risk & Impact Assessment dashboard based on indicators, time-series charts or forecasting maps. The objective is to have a smart organization of the heterogeneous relevant datasets that facilitates the analysis of the data available and, therefore, the monitoring activities over an AoI. The current application (running in the SatCen GEO-DAMP platform) will be extended by incorporating Sentinel-2 change detection, enhancing its interoperability, expanding its functionality to cover other areas and periods.
