EYC Space Talks #3: Water

Ghent European Youth Capital 2024

GhentEYC, the European Space Agency and BELSPO would like to invite you to the next EYC Space talk about protecting WATER from space!

De Krook

Want to know how we can use space technology to save our oceans and water supplies? Join us for Space Talk #3, where experts will explain how satellites keep an eye on our planet and help protect water resources from the effects of climate change and human activity.Talk 1: How Satellites Help Protect the Oceans Dr. Dimitry Van der Zande will explain how special satellites from the European Space Agency are watching over our oceans. These satellites can see changes in the water, like algae growth, temperature shifts, and pollution. This information helps scientists and governments take action to protect the oceans from damage caused by tourism, industry, and climate change.Talk 2: Tracking Water from Space Dr. Karim Douch will take us on a journey to show how satellites are tracking water across the entire planet. By measuring the Earth’s gravity field, satellites like GRACE can see where water is stored underground, how much rain has fallen, and how fast water is evaporating. This data is important for making sure we have enough clean water for the future.The event will be moderated by Jacotte Brokken, who will guide the discussions and Q&amp;A, making sure you get the most out of the insights shared by the experts.This event is a great way for students, young environmentalists, or anyone curious about space to learn how satellites are helping solve real-world problems!
