Start of the Horizon Europe project LandSeaLot
LandSeaLot will link together in situ, model and earth observations (EO) and connect related communities, citizens and initiatives such as Copernicus, ESA, EEA, GEOSS, EMODnet and the European Digital Twin of the Ocean. These observations will be used in a gap analysis to co-design a common land-sea interface observation strategy and an implementation plan. LandSeaLot participants will simultaneously work on improving: in situ and EO capabilities, models to reduce the model/observations gap and the integration of model, in situ and satellite data.
The four-year project comprises 20 partners spanning 12 European nations and will bring together communities involved in coastal and freshwater research infrastructures, with citizen science networks and the consortium’s leading scientific expertise. The Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon is involved in this project with its Institute of Carbon Cycles and Institute of Coastal Systems – Analysis and Modeling.
The kick-off meeting of the LandSeaLot project took place from 26-28 March in Delft, hosted by the Dutch research institute Deltares.
