Pioneering H2020 project e-shape, strengthens the benefits for Europe of GEO - establishing ‘EuroGEO’
EuroGEO, as Europe’s contribution to the Global Earth Observation System of Systems, aims at bringing together Earth Observation resources in Europe. It allows Europe to position itself as global force in Earth observation through leveraging Copernicus, making use of existing European capacities and improving user uptake of the data from GEO assets.

Success story
ReSAgri - Resilient & Sustainable ecosystems including Agriculture & food
Profile
Natural hazards such as droughts, flash floods, and natural and man-induced disasters e.g. forest fires, and floods, are affecting and have a dominant role in natural ecosystems and agriculture, and hence food, resiliency and sustainability.
Proposal
This pilot would integrate an advanced hazard forecasting system to explore the links between heatwaves, wildfires, and floods in synergy with the other pilots of the e-shape disaster showcase concerning the development of an innovative meteo modelling solution in higher grid resolution and with EO based assimilation process.
Benefits
- Supporting the ecosystem resilience and food production process
- Economic value both from contributing to optimal food production and to new businesses (e.g. agriculture insurance business)
- Contribution to ecosystem protection and food security challenge
