Managing Natural Resources

In today’s world natural resources are becoming scarce whilst security concerns are increasing. Space offers a unique opportunity for monitoring changes in our environment whilst helping to keep us safe.
Predicting the Climate

To better understand and predict climate global change it is important to measure the surface ocean and the thickness of the ice caps on a regular basis, whilst the study of soil humidity provides valuable complimentary information. As Europe works to meet the Kyoto protocol on air pollution, we need to appraise the effects of greenhouse gases.
