The project aimed to demonstrate the commercial value of Copernicus Earth Observation (EO) products through a series of interactive story maps and dashboards, covering sectors such as agriculture and forestry, insurance and finance, renewable energy, raw materials, and urban development. RSLab contributed its expertise to the development of the Urban Development scenarios, while also supporting all project scenarios across sectors through the processing of Copernicus and complementary datasets, transforming them into application-specific information for tangible, user-driven commercial applications.

The Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSLab) of the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH) will contribute to the use of Earth Observation data and geospatial methods to monitor climate change and its impacts on Crete. It will participate in the development and use of high-spatial-resolution climate information and in the identification of key climate indicators for each relevant sector. In parallel, RSLab will contribute to the evaluation and promotion of mature research outcomes from projects that have achieved a high Technology Readiness Level (TRL > 6), with the aim of facilitating their uptake by the Region of Crete. The relevant data and results will support the scientific evidence base and the operation of the Regional Observatory for Climate Change Adaptation.

This project provides systematic online monitoring, temporal and spatial analysis, and an evaluation study indicating the contribution of the renovation actions and the traffic regulations of the Heraklion city center to the reduction of CO2 emissions in the context of the Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SDAE) of the Heraklion Municipality.

This project focused on two burned areas in Crete performing pre and post-fire assessment using commercial Earth Observation data, Machine Learning algorithms, and auxiliary information (vector data) from the Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS) to quantify the impacts on cultivations and natural vegetation.

This project aims at exploiting Copernicus Sentinel-2 data for calculating spectral heterogeneity as a surrogate indicator on the conservation status of selected Natura 2000 habitats of Greece, which have been defined by vectorial data and used to develop the relevant method due to absence of suitable field data. The project is funded the Green Fund Financing Program "NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND INNOVATIVE ACTIONS 2020".

This project focused on generating Earth Observation (EO) terrain motion measurements via operational Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) services of the Geohazards Exploitation Platform (GEP), in support of disaster risk reduction and decision-making. Capacity building activities were provided to train EO practitioners on the utilization of cloud-based EO solutions.

This project aimed at creating a burned area map, using Planet CubeSats as the only daily available source, for associating the burned area with the distribution network of electricity and the locations of the piles towards examining the fire cause and especially the potential causation of the local electricity network.
