Cesbio
Centre d'Etudes Spatiales de la Biosphère
Cesbio is a public research laboratory which aims to better understand the functioning of continental surfaces and their interactions with climate and humans. Remote sensing is heavily used by Cesbio scientists to monitor the evolution of the planet at various scales and develop models to tackle societal challenges on biodiversity, climate change, food security, water resources, etc. The laboratory also contributes to the development and promotion of Earth Observation by participating in the definition, implementation and scientific exploitation of space missions.
CESBIO is a joint research unit with:
- National Centre for Space Studies (CNES)
- National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS)
- Research Institute for Development (IRD)
- University Toulouse 3 Paul Sabatier (UT3)
