Viedma Glacier is an iconic glacier of the Southern Patagonia icefield. Landsat 5, Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 images series show that its terminus has retreated by 3 km since 1985. Looking closer one can notice a new proglacial lake forming in a recently deglaciated area. Since I won 80 sq km of Airbus Pléiades data, […]
=> Following its installation in March 2021, our new ROSAS device at Lamasquère has produced a first series of acquisitions over a complete maize crop cycle. The ROSAS system is based on the use of a multi-spectral photometer to carry out angular and spectral measurements of both incident and reflected radiation from the surface. The […]

At the same time of the Sentinel-2 acquisition, they were also « visible » as cold spots from our thermal infrared camera installed at Pic du Midi. This year in November […]
Sentinel-2 captured an impressive view of the Fraser river sediment plume in Georgia Strait caused by the historic flood in British Columbia (250 mm rainfall in 48 hours). The image contains an amusing detail west off the Vancouver International Airport. This red-green-blue object is an airplane or « plainbow« . It is due to shifts between the […]

These days, I participate to the MAG for Sentinel-HR at CNES, and for Sentinel-2 Next Generation at ESA. […]
