Maritime satellites for environmental monitoring in rivers, lakes and oceans

The UNDERSEE project aims to monitor and predict water quality changes in rivers, lakes and oceans without dealing with sensors maintenance. The main users of the service are research centres, environmental agencies and aquaculture producers. The product enables them to move from a reactive to a preventive decision-making approach regarding water quality changes and environmental impact assessments in rivers, lakes and oceans based on actionable data. It relies on in-situ water data integrated with advanced image processing of Copernicus data, and on the use of GNSS and SatCom. The space assets allow real-time water quality dynamic maps, improved reliability of data, continuous validation of EOD products and predictive models, and early warning of water changes.
