Careers & Opportunities
ARGANS has an established history of over 15 years of delivering Earth Observation derived products and services supporting European and International clients and stakeholders, in particular the European Space Agency (ESA). We are specialists in satellite-based Earth Observation, geographical information systems, and developers of remote-sensing applications and services used to observe, map and monitor the marine, atmospheric and terrestrial environments.
Our support to the EU/ESA Copernicus Sentinel program started in 2007, leading the consortium developing the Sentinel-3 OLCI/SLSTR prototype Level 2 processors, and designing the ESA Sentinel Online mission information portal. We have provided QA support for Envisat MERIS under IDEAS SPPA and provided services for both Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 Mission Performance Centres. In addition, our Calibration / Validation expertise was represented on MERIS QMAG and, subsequently, Sentinel-2 MAG where we advise on vicarious calibration and are the developers of DIMITRI, the sensor inter-calibration tool used.
Our R&D projects cover many thematic areas: marine litter detection, coastal change mapping, benthic habitat classification, coral bleaching detection, satellite derived bathymetry, land use / land cover mapping and ocean processes. We are currently involved in the EU/ESA Copernicus Philippines initiative, providing benthic mapping and bathymetry software and services, along with training, to the Philippine Space Agency and stakeholders and, with the UK Space Agency and British Geological Survey, mapping the UK coastal shoreline from space.
