TERRA featured on Ant1 TV: Advancing Sustainable Water and Climate Solutions

Athens, April 2025 — The TERRA Project recently gained significant visibility with a feature on Ant1 TV, one of Greece’s leading television networks. The segment, which aired after the midday news, explored how TERRA is revolutionizing the management of water resources, monitoring coastal areas, and strengthening resilience to climate change through innovative technologies.

TERRA’s Innovative Approach to Global Challenges

In the feature, Dr. Ioannis Neokosmides, CEO at InCites Consulting and Innovation Manager at TERRA, and Dr. Konstantinos Kolombatsos, Associate Professor at the University of Thessaly and Coordinator of TERRA, shared valuable insights into the project’s cutting-edge use of technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Digital Twin models, and Big Data to tackle critical environmental issues. By integrating these advanced tools with Copernicus services, TERRA is pioneering new methods for real-time monitoring, flood prediction, and water pollution management — solutions that are essential for addressing today’s climate challenges.

Key Insights from the Ant1 TV Feature:

AI for Flood Prediction & Risk Management: TERRA uses machine learning and AI models to predict and manage flood risks, ensuring more efficient responses to natural disasters.

Satellite-based Water Pollution Monitoring: TERRA’s satellite data analysis provides accurate detection of water pollution, offering timely insights for better environmental protection.

Coastal Erosion Prevention: The project utilizes Digital Twin technology to simulate coastal environments and predict erosion patterns, aiding in the development of preventative measures.

Hydrological Monitoring Tools: These tools help assess the impact of climate change on water systems and allow better management of water resources across regions.

These technological innovations are at the heart of TERRA’s mission to provide smart, sustainable solutions for water and climate challenges worldwide.

Real-World Applications of TERRA’s Solutions

The feature also highlighted TERRA’s ongoing pilot projects in Greece, Poland, and Scotland. These real-world applications demonstrate the practicality and impact of the solutions developed within the TERRA project:

• Water Pollution in Fthiotida, Greece: TERRA’s platform is being used to monitor coastal water quality and detect pollution in this key region.
• Illegal Marine Activities in Gdansk, Poland: The project is utilizing satellite imagery and AI to detect and prevent illegal activities in the port area.
• Coastal Erosion in Scotland: TERRA’s Digital Twin models are being used to monitor and mitigate coastal erosion, protecting valuable ecosystems and communities from the impacts of climate change.

These pilot projects showcase how TERRA’s tools are supporting local authorities, businesses, and communities in developing sustainable strategies for managing water resources and addressing climate risks.

Supporting European Innovation and Sustainability

The TERRA Project, funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe program, is not only solving critical environmental problems but also contributing to the EU’s leadership in space-based services and climate innovation. By combining Copernicus data with advanced technologies, TERRA is ensuring that Europe remains at the forefront of global efforts to combat climate change and promote sustainability.

A Step Towards a More Resilient Future

As the world continues to face the increasing challenges of water scarcity, pollution, and climate change, TERRA is helping to build a more resilient future. The project’s innovative solutions are supporting informed decision-making, improving risk management, and enhancing environmental monitoring to protect communities and ecosystems.

TERRA’s impact is being felt across Europe and beyond, and its ongoing work promises to deliver even greater benefits in the years to come. Through advanced technology, interdisciplinary collaboration, and a shared commitment to sustainability, TERRA is laying the foundation for a more sustainable and resilient future.
