Trees are a must for the cities of the future

A few days ago, the Copernicus Earth observation programme published a hair-raising satellite image. It shows the land surface temperature in some parts of Spain exceeding 53°C, despite summer having only just begun. Heatwaves of the kind reflected in the image are particularly apparent in towns and cities, where most of the population live, but they could be more bearable if there were more trees. Tree-lined streets obviously provide more shade to take cover in when the mercury rises, but

CREAF takes off with the Landsat-9 satellite

The recent launch of the Landsat-9 satellite by NASA and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) marks a small step forward in the study and understanding the Earth’s surface. CREAF followed this charismatic event live and took the opportunity to bring remote sensing technologies closer to society. Since the first satellite was launched into space in the 1950s, mankind has sent more than 200 satellites dedicated to remote sensing. The latest, NASA’s Landsat-9, was launched this week and did not

Alba Anadon Rosell, a gentle sight with a forceful speech

Without making too much noise and with an always affable look. Talking to Alba Anadon Rosell you get the feeling that, despite the difficulties, this researcher with a heterogeneous international background always approaches situations in a cordial and affectionate way. It also seems that her career has been smooth, although it is clear that she has experienced first-hand the ups and downs of a scientific career with an international vocation. “I’m going through a bit of a rollercoaster ride”, she

How to improve the EU’s drinking water supply by monitoring lakes

Monitoring the extent of lake effluents provides valuable information on the risk of pollution and contributes to improving drinking water production and preserving environmental sustainability. This is the aim of the European WQeMS project, which seeks to improve the supply of drinking water to all member states of the EU by monitoring the quality of lake water, through Earth observation tools. CREAF researchers Joan Masó and Ivette Serral, members of the Grumets research group, are taking an active part in
