The Global Environment Monitoring Unit is
looking for a scientific/technical officer to
provide scientific and technical support to further
research and development in the Systematic
Observations of Land and Ocean (SOLO) action.
In this action, R&D activities are conducted to
take advantage of the data acquired by satellite
sensors and to generate, in collaboration with
the Space Agencies, land and ocean climate as
well as environmental products. Quality,
reliability and accuracy of satellite products are
assessed through laboratory and in situ
benchmarking activities; new algorithms are
developed to increase their relevance as physical
parameters in climate studies and international
networks supported to ensure global
acceptability of products.
In the context of the proposed project, the main
objective is to work on a 15 year time-series of
land surface satellite derived products (e.g
FAPAR) to define and implement a variety of
indicators linked to phenology, primary
production and vegetation variability and
change.
