Do you have fresh ideas on how Earth observation data can contribute to monitoring the effects brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic? If so, ESA and the European Commission have launched a new series of monthly challenges asking for innovative solutions on how satellite data can be used to help better understand the effects of the coronavirus on society, economy and the environment.

The first challengelaunched March 1st 2021, focuses on how the pandemic affects shipping traffic as well as related impacts on air and water quality. The general public are invited to propose, and develop, ways to characterise shipping vessel dynamics and their impacts on atmospheric parameters and ocean water quality information using Earth observation data, such as Copernicus Sentinel data.

More information on the challenges and details on how to participate can be found on this page.
