ESA's Living Planet Symposium was held from 28 June – 2 July 2010 in Bergen, Norway. Throughout the symposium scientists presented results and compared findings of ongoing research activities using data from ESA’s Envisat, ERS-2 and Third Party Mission satellites. The first in-orbit results from the ESA’s recently launched Earth Explorers – GOCE, SMOS and CryoSat – were also presented.
