=> 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 […]

=> Mes collègues du CESBIO sont très créatifs ! 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 (Sentinel-1 et 2). Et bien souvent, ils ne s’arrêtent pas à la mise au point de la méthode […]

OpenAlex is a new, yet already very useful, open database for exploring scientific literature. For an upcoming blog post on the CNES Datacampus website, I analysed the proportion of papers that used only one of the Sentinel-2 or Landsat missions, as well as those that used both, in 2025. What struck me was that Sentinel-2 […]

This blog post is not a review of the excellent and deeply philosophical, parallel-universes delirium movie by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, but the title of this drama resonates with the capabilities of our latest algorithm, which has just been published in Remote Sensing of Environment: J. Michel and J. Inglada, « Temporal attention multi-resolution fusion […]
Sentinel-2
Due to the success of Olivier’s petition, ESA kept Sentinel-2A operational after the launch of Sentinel-2C. Having three operational satellites instead of two increases the revisit, which should improve the quality of the derived products, and therefore the reliability of operational services based on Sentinel-2 data. One of this service is the Copernicus’ High Resolution […]

« We are currently experiencing the driest autumn the country has experienced in 50 years » said Iran’s meteorological organisation. Near Tehran, Mount Damavand, the highest peak in Iran (5609 m) was reported to be « unusually bare of snow ». I checked this statement using my MODIS snow cover data processing algorithm implemented in Google Earth Engine (Gascoin […]

The tool will undergo significant developments in the coming months, and the purpose of this list is to communicate with the community to support these changes and to maintain the processing workflows needed by the users.

Grâce à DINAMIS, un couple d’images stéréoscopiques a été acquis par Pléiades 1B le 14 septembre 2025. Le modèle numérique de surface (MNS) produit à partir de ces images peut être comparé à un autre MNS de septembre 2013 produit à partir des images Pléiades 1A commandées par Marti et al. (2014). Le glacier d’Ossoue […]

Pakistan news media reported that a glacier lake outburst flood (the failure of a dam containing a glacial lake) occurred near Gupis, Gilgit-Baltistan, a highly mountainous region administered by Pakistan. Satellite images show that the flood triggered a debris flow, which reached the Gupis valley where it hit the Roshan (Rashon) village and blocked the […]
