The missing link to valorize CESBIO’s applicative research works

=>  My colleagues at CESBIO are extremely creative! Over the past ten years, they have developed a wide range of new products and methods for extracting information from Copernicus data. They don’t just develop and validate the method on a few sites; they continue their work until they have produced data for the whole of […]

Le chaînon manquant dans la valorisation des travaux de recherche en télédétection

Ils ont mis au point, au cours des dix dernières années, un grand nombre de nouveaux produits et de méthodes d’extraction de l’information à partir des données Copernicus. Et bien souvent, ils ne s’arrêtent pas à la mise au point de la méthode et à sa […]

For a coming blog post on CNES Datacampus site, I studied the proportion of papers using only one of the Sentinel-2 or Landsat missions, and papers using both of them, in 2025. And what stroke me is that Sentinel-2 just […]
