Ένα νέο διακρατικό δίκτυο συνδέει την επιστήμη, την παρακολούθηση και τη διαχείριση του θαλάσσιου περιβάλλοντος για τη στήριξη της μακροπρόθεσμης διατήρησης της Posidonia oceanica και των οικοσυστημάτων «μπλε άνθρακα». Στο πλαίσιο του έργου BLUEQ δημιουργήθηκε μια νέα διακρατική πλατφόρμα συνεργασίας αφιερωμένη στη μακροπρόθεσμη παρακολούθηση, προστασία και βιώσιμη διαχείριση των θαλάσσιων οικοσυστημάτων. Το Παρατηρητήριο BLUEQ συγκεντρώνει …

PLP2026 investigates the detection of floating marine plastics using hyperspectral satellite imagery. Three HDPE targets—18 m², 45 m², and 90 m²—were designed to represent approximately 2%, 5%, and 10% of a 30 m PRISMA pixel. Observations from PRISMA and EnMAP will be compared with Sentinel-2 and UAV data to examine plastic detection across different spatial …

Sharing our latest paper on floating matter and debris detection. FLODAS uses 8-band Planet SuperDove imagery to detect matter-loaded windrows in coastal waters. The framework uses a UNET model trained on various instances of floating matter and combines spectral information to assess windrow composition. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1569843226003857
