#EO4Impact
With the start of the new year, I will try to publish every month a picture of #Switzerland #landscape as seen from space using the #SwissDataCube.
We start with a cloud-free mosaic of the country using all available #Sentinel2 images for 2020. #EO4impact

#ImageOfTheMonth #SwissDataCube | A recent study in @nature.com has shown that the pace of glacier melting is accelerating: doi.org/10.1038/s415....
The Aletsch Glacier is an icon of the Swiss Alps and its significant decrease in 40 years is a clear consequence of #ClimateChange. #EO4impact
