Earth and its digial twin

The ESA funded demonstrator project for a Digital Twin Hydrology, in which our remote sensing team has participated, was successfully completed recently. One important outcome of the project was a vision paper that was published as a lead article in Frontiers in Science this week, accompanied by several news pieces. Our contribution to the project was to derive a novel 1km soil moisture data set from Sentinel-1 SAR data for the Mediterranean region.
