Detection, classification and analysis of oil slicks observed by the ASAR radar instrument in WSM mode onboard Envisat between 2002 and 2012. Oil slicks are classified according to whether they are of natural origin (oil seepages) or anthropogenic (oil spills from platforms or deballasting of ships).

Analysis of the three Copernicus Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) (EEA-10, GLO-30 and GLO-90). Comparison of GLO-30 with the other global DEMs SRTM, ASTER GDEM and ALOS World 3D. Altimeter accuracy computed from LiDAR ICESat-1, ICESat-2 ("Terrain only" and "Terrain with canopy") and GEDI ("Lowest mode" and "Highest return") data. Statistical measure of the influence of land cover.
