From orbit, Earth-observing satellites send back images that reveal connections between COVID-19 and the environment. We've funded 8 new projects to use this data to better understand the pandemic's environmental, economic, and societal impacts: https://t.co/lV5HO7HaSF

[Seraphim Space Accelerator @SeraphimSpaceVC]

We are so excited to see our alumni, @PowerMarketAI close a funding round led by @QVenturesCo!

On Earth everything is interconnected: dust coming from the Sahara desert can travel an entire ocean and end up over the Amazon forest and replenish nutrients in rainforest soils.
Here's how #EO satellites helped us monitor last June Sahara dust plume➡️https://t.co/NiDNvMKHOX

"Climate change is unlikely to cause the extinction of the human species by itself. However, we need to start thinking about it as an existential risk multiplier." - interesting talk by @OxClimateSoc with @dwallacewells, @hausfath from @TheBTI, and @lukakemp from @CSERCambridge

[Space for Earth @spaceforearth]

🌊Oceans are vital for our survival, but they are under stress from #ClimateChange, #pollution, #OceanAcidification and more.

On #WorldOceansDay find out how @ESA is involved in protecting and preserving the oceans 👉https://t.co/9UEiHPzplk

This #BiodiversityDay, we recognize the essential variety of all life on Earth

[ESA Earth Observation @ESA_EO]

During the #COVID19 lockdown, @CopernicusEU #Sentinel5P registered nitrogen dioxide levels drop all over Europe.
But how did the satellite do it?
With a swath width of 2600 km, Sentinel-5P maps the global atmosphere every day, with a resolution as high as 7 km × 3.5 km.

It's #WorldBeeDay!

Take a closer look next time you see a bee - can you identify which species it is? 🐝

Bees not only play a vital role in our environment, they are also important to our economy.

On #WorldBeeDay, check what the Parliament is doing to protect bees and other pollinators. ➡️ https://t.co/fV59DHRIAC
