Exploring biodiversity through Nexus Island – a HyperBOOST perspective
Understanding biodiversity along Europe’s coasts is a core objective of HyperBOOST, a research effort supported by the European Space Agency (ESA) that combines field measurements and satellite observations to study ecosystem health. This scientific approach is reflected in the educational resource Nexus Island and its ESA Extension, which brings real-world Earth Observation concepts into the classroom.

The HyperBOOST project kicks-off!
In late June the HyperBOOST (Hyperspectral Bio-Optical Observations sailing on Tara) team held the initial ‘kick-off’ meeting for the project. The two-year project utilisizes the EMBL Trec expedition to provide a means to gather a variety of in situ data for the validation of satellite data.HyperBOOST is a continuation from the BiCOME (Biodiversity of the Coastal […]
