Earth Observation for Ukraine (EO4UA)

The Earth Observation for Ukraine (EO4UA) has been initiated to support Ukrainian and international authorities in assessing war-related environmental losses by provisioning processing capabilities combined with a large repository of satellite data and higher-level products generated by the EO4UA partners.

The initiative has also fostered a synergy between numerous projects focused on Ukraine running on the CREODIAS platform. Within the EO4UA repository there are “core” data sets (e.g. Sentinel products, crop classifications, boundaries of agricultural fields, etc.) which are indispensable for versatile environmental analyses. Results of analyses conducted by end-users, together with generated products are also stored within the repository to facilitate consecutive research studies.

CloudFerro Initiative

CloudFerro operates and develops the CREODIAS platform on behalf of the European Space Agency, as part of the Copernicus program managed by the European Commission. CREODIAS is one of the European DIAS (Data and Information Access Services) platforms, aimed at facilitating access to satellite data and ensuring the possibility of its processing in the cloud, as well as the creation of its own applications and services.

Soon after the Russian invasion into Ukraine, CloudFerro started the bottom-up EO4UA initiative, that aims at supporting Ukrainian and international authorities in assessing environmental losses by provisioning processing capabilities combined with a large repository consisting of Earth Observation (EO) satellite data and higher-level products generated by end-users. Within the repository there will be “core” data sets (e.g. Sentinels’ imageries, crop classifications, boundaries of agricultural fields, etc.) which are indispensable for versatile environmental analyses. Results of analyses conducted by end-users, together with generated products, will also be stored within the repository to facilitate consecutive studies.  

Members of EO4UA

The members of the EO4UA initiative are EO professionals from private, public and academic sectors willing to support Ukraine by providing state-of-the-art expertise in EO analytics and by cooperating with the Ukrainian scientists. The initiative is open for new members who wish to make a significant contribution to help Ukraine.

How to access the EO4UA portal?

Accessing the portal is very simple, through the https://www.eo4ua.org/ website.
