Cloud computing services with an EO data repository like CREODIAS is a perfect place for developing and implementing any environmental applications, models or tools that you can think of. It is only up to the user how our resources will be utilised. Depending on the needs, the system is scalable and meets precise requirements. SOLUM and Forest Digital Earth Precursor are two examples of solutions CloudFerro have recently been working on. The both show how CREODIAS can be applied according to the needs and expectations of our society and public administration.

The most meaningful applications of satellite data are those related to crisis management and response. Earth Observation data can play a crucial role in saving lives and properties, providing valuable source of information in numerous types of emergency. Such events as floods, fires, earthquakes, landslides, droughts etc. can be foreseen, managed and thus their effects can be mitigated.

Nowadays, remotely acquired imagery plays an important role in building and assuring peace. The majority of techniques and products have a wide range of applications which can be used in assuring global security. Copernicus Security Service aims at enhancing crisis prevention, preparedness and response in three key areas: maritime surveillance, border surveillance and support to EU external action. A wide range of CREODIAS resources can also be applied in the security domain. Feeling safe and secure is a basic human need, thus there is a great need in creating and discovering new applications in this field using satellite data. 

Climate has been changing over the years, but according to researchers, never as fast as now. How to measure and understand these processes? There are plenty of methods, but the most crucial information comes from those which track changes constantly, just like satellites do. The Earth Observation system provides reliable and objective package of a digital and quantitative description of past and current situations.

Satellite data has many attributes, both spectral and spatial ones, providing adequate information for oceans, seas, coastal areas, mangroves and any other water bodies. CREODIAS data catalogue provides resources for water analysis in all dimensions, from local to global and from visible to radar techniques. Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) products available via CREODIAS platform are particularly dedicated to water application. The article below examines the variety of these products and presents the  opportunities they offer.

CREODIAS provides access to atmospheric parameters and characteristics and offers tools that help to transform relevant information into key knowledge for environmental management. In particular, the platform gives access to the data from a flagship Copernicus satellite for atmospheric applications, Sentinel-5P, as well as Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) products, and provides cloud computing environment for processing this data.

INSPIRE SEARCH tab gives you the possibility to discover CREODIAS datasets (products) by browsing through ISO19115/INSPIRE (2007/2/EC) directive compliant information by chosen criteria.

Graphics Processing Units (GPU) are recently the biggest source of computing power. They were developed as a specialized tool for processing of images mainly in gaming. But currently they are applied in a growing number of CPU heavy applications: not only related to picture processing but also to artificial intelligence and others.

Copernicus program priorities are to gain from Earth Observation techniques and make research, administration, agriculture, economy, environmental protection of our lands easier, cheaper and more effective. Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS) constitute rich data hub with archival and near real time environmental resources. CREODIAS platform make accessible CLMS products over S3 or NFS protocol moreover […]
