Earth Observation and Advanced Modelling to Improve Climate Predictions: The CONCERTO Project is Launched

02.04.2025 Pensoft Publishers

The new Horizon Europe project to enhance carbon cycle modelling, improve climate predictions and support climate policy.

Terrestrial carbon cycle dynamics remain one of the greatest sources of uncertainty in climate projections, with diverging estimates of ecosystem carbon uptake, affecting the accuracy of Earth system models.

To address these challenges, CONCERTO (Improved CarbOn cycle represeNtation through multi-sCale models and Earth obseRvation for Terrestrial ecOsystems), was launched in January 2025.

CONCERTO’s kick off meeting was held on 21-22 January 2025 in Milan, Italy, where representatives of the 13 consortium partners gathered, laying the groundwork for their four-year research goals.

The project aims to advance the current understanding and modelling of the terrestrial carbon cycle, leading to reduced uncertainty in climate predictions and models. The project will also integrate cutting-edge Earth оbservation data, innovative land surface process models, data assimilation, and machine learning techniques to refine carbon cycle representation. Finally, by providing more accurate predictions of ecosystem carbon fluxes, the project will contribute to improved climate policy and support global efforts towards carbon neutrality.

"CONCERTO represents an important step towards improving Earth system models by leveraging the latest advancements in remote sensing and modelling techniques. By reducing uncertainties in carbon cycle predictions, we are paving the way for more effective climate mitigation strategies and informed policy decisions." says Manuela Balzarolo, project coordinator of CONCERTO.

We have used AlphaGalileo since its foundation but frankly we need it more than ever now to ensure our research news is heard across Europe, Asia and North America. As one of the UK’s leading research universities we want to continue to work with other outstanding researchers in Europe. AlphaGalileo helps us to continue to bring our research story to them and the rest of the world.

AlphaGalileo has helped us more than double our reach at SciDev.Net. The service has enabled our journalists around the world to reach the mainstream media with articles about the impact of science on people in low- and middle-income countries, leading to big increases in the number of SciDev.Net articles that have been republished.
