Earth Observation provides essential information on the world around us. It combines information from satellites with data from ground-based sensors and monitoring stations to help us map out the present, forecast the near future, and take action based on these insights. This data ranges from informing on the use of land by humans to insights into disaster risk.
EU Space’s Earth Observation component is Copernicus. It provides a massive array of freely accessible data and analysis for all kinds of users. Its six services, covering land, marine, and atmospheric environments, as well as climate change, security, and emergency management, are helping Europe make more sustainable and secure choices every day.
Copernicus’ Earth Observation data informs better decision-making worldwide, from improving public health to mitigating disaster risk and managing emergencies. Thanks to feedback from its users, it is constantly improving its already free and open databases. Curious to know more about the health of our oceans or how to grow our food more sustainably? Gain insights on these topics and much more with Copernicus.
