Euroopan Avaruusjärjestön SMOS-satelliitti (Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity) on määrä laukaista 2.11.2009. Satelliitin hyötykuormana on uutta tekniikkaa edustava interferometrinen mikroaaltoradiometri, joka toimii L-alueella (1,4 GHz) ja tuottaa globaalia tietoa maankosteudesta ja merten suolapitoisuudesta. Satelliitin järjestelmien suunnitteluun, rakentamiseen ja testaukseen ovat osallistuneet Suomesta Teknillinen korkeakoulu, DA-Design Oy ja Modulight Oy. SMOS-havaintojen käyttöä tutkivat yhteisessä projektissa Teknillinen korkeakoulu, Ilmatieteen laitos ja Suomen ympäristökeskus.

The Department of Geosciences and Geography of the University of Helsinki hosts two 4-year PhD student positions in airborne hyperspectral imaging spectroscopy in 2010-2014. The successful applicant should have an MSc degree or equivalent with knowledge and experience in quantitative physical remote sensing, which can be evidenced by an MSc thesis in the field and academic courses carried out. Earlier knowledge of software like MATLAB, ENVI IDL, ArcGIS, Erdas Imagine is needed.

The Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS) is an international initiative that provides decision-support tools and operational access to Earth observation data and geospatial content, serving a wide variety of users. GEOSS will proactively link together existing and planned observation systems around the world and support the development of new systems where gaps currently exist, promoting also common technical standards in a manner that data from thousands of different instruments can be combined into coherent data sets.

The University of Tromsø has 3-5 research fellow positions in Earth observation/remote sensing vacant for applicants who would like to complete a PhD degree. The positions are organized under the Department of Physics and Technology, and the research fellows will be enrolled in the Barents Remote Sensing School (BARESS), which is a research school in earth observation at the University of Tromsø.

The desired research area is Earth observation/remote sensing, specifically using SAR (synthetic aperture radar) and PolSAR (polarimetric SAR) data, addressing research problems like;
