**Field(s) of activity/research for the traineeship**
High spatial resolution thermal satellite missions are expected to operate in the coming years. Among them, the European Space Agency (ESA) is set to launch the Land Surface Temperature Monitoring (LSTM) mission, which is scheduled to join the Copernicus Sentinel constellation in 2028. These satellites (2) will possess thermal infrared observation capabilities over land and coastal regions, supporting agriculture management services and potentially offering a range of additional services.
Through this Young Graduate Traineeship, you will work with various thermal and other remotely sensed datasets, primarily from ECOSTRESS but also from geostationary satellites. Your responsibilities will include calculating various indices, such as the Temperature Rising Index (efficient for agricultural drought monitoring), the Vegetation Condition Index, and the Standardized Precipitation Index.
Upon obtaining these indices, you will analyze the responses of different drought indices to known drought events.
Your specific tasks will include:

- Selecting four study locations, comprising two in Europe (Northern and Mediterranean locations) and two in Africa (Sahel and Horn of Africa);
- Understanding crops response to drought using geostationary land surface temperature, vegetation, and rainfall data, and developing a lag response model;
- Validating the results with ECOSTRESS and European Drought Observatory data.
You will utilize ESA-supported cloud computing platforms for conducting your research.
