CONCERTO
Improved CarbOn cycle represeNtation through multi-sCale models and Earth obseRvation for Terrestrial ecOsystems
The project
CONCERTO is a Horizon Europe project which aims to reduce uncertainty in Earth system models by improving the monitoring and modelling of the terrestrial carbon cycle. The project leverages advanced Earth observation data, innovative process models, and machine learning techniques to enhance land surface simulations. By refining land cover representation, integrating new data sources, and improving the modelling of carbon fluxes, CONCERTO supports better land management strategies and contributes to carbon neutrality efforts.
What MEEO does
MEEO leads WP1, the data sharing framework. It builds the data lake and platform, collects the datasets, manages the in situ data and oversees data management implementation. It also supports validation of the management intensity map and the biomass production algorithm, and contributes to EO data preparation for ML and data assimilation (WP3).
