In this post « Landslides in Kyrgyzstan captured by Sentinel-2 » I showed two landslides that I identified as the Kurbu and Ayu landslides, both featured in the AGU landslide blog. However, as pointed out by Isakbek Torgoev, the Kurbu-Tash landslide is located about 5 km farther south than the one I found on the Sentinel-2 image […]

Le satellite Venµs va être lancé cet été, si, si, vraiment ! Cette mission Franco-Israélienne observera tous les deux jours une centaine de sites pendant 30 mois, pour une résolution de 10m dans 12 bandes spectrales. En combinant ses données avec celles de Sentinel-2, nous pourrons même nous approcher d’une observation quotidienne, avec, entre autres, la […]

After a good period with very little production incidents, our Muscate facility has had a tough period, which almost halted the production for one week. Until last week, the Muscate ground segment was running on CNES older cluster, and was just using the new cluster’s bay of disks to store the input and output data. […]
These Sentinel-2 images show the extent of the recent flooding near the border between Arkansas and Missouri on Apr 24, 2017 (36°30’N 90°38’W). The left image is a natural color composite (similar to what our eyes could see if we were in orbit). The right image is a color representation of the Normalized Difference Water […]
The Google Earth Blog spotted the recent Queensland floods in Sentinel-2 imagery. The Sentinels provide systematic coverage of the land areas, which facilitates the detection of changes due to natural hazards. Hence we can compare this Sentinel-2A image with another one that was captured last year during the same season to better highlight the extent […]
