The Hydrology Thematic Exploitation Platform offers:

On-line platform services providing access to EO data, tools and ICT resources for urban management

The Urban Thematic Exploitation Platform offers a collaborative environment on the cloud that aims at facilitating the sustainable management of urban areas, globally, by:

On-line platform services providing access to EO data, tools and ICT resources for food security​

The Thematic Exploitation Platform dedicated to Food Security supports sustainable agriculture, aquaculture and fisheries by providing access to data, processing tools and computing resources in a cloud environment. It  facilitates collaborative research and bench marking of methods, development of innovative Apps and services, as well as uptake of EO data in processes of end-users in the food security sectors.

Facilitating the uptake of EO-derived information in sustainable development projects related to Agricultural and rural development

ESA partners with UN COPUOS on responses to asteroid threats, including basic research and development, impact mitigation measures and deflection missions

Predicting changes of the environment based on the behavior of the Sun

Space weather describes the changes nature of Earth’s environment predominantly because of the behavior of our Sun. This can include Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and the shockwaves that come with them, solar energetic particles (SEP), extreme ultraviolet, X-rays and solar winds, all with the potential to cause damage on Earth.
