=>Article rédigé à partir des articles du site Theia.Les forges de Theia viennent de mettre à disposition un nouveau produit basé sur les données Sentinel 1 et 2. Le CES “Humidité du sol à très haute résolution spatiale”, animé par Nicolas Baghdadi, du laboratoire Tetis à Montpellier et Mehrez Zribi du CESBIO, propose des cartes […]
L’Antarctique sort à peine de sa torpeur hivernale que déjà deux évènements majeurs viennent de se produire sous l’œil de Sentinel-1. Le 12 juillet dernier, une crevasse géante à fendu la barrière de glace Larsen C [1], mais il a fallu attendre que la banquise desserre son étau en septembre pour que l’iceberg A68 commence […]
Hurricane Harvey hit Texas on August 25. The first Sentinel-1 image of Houston since landfall was acquired on Aug 29 at 00:26 UTC. I’m writing this post at 21:09 UTC. As reported by the local news website chron.com « The most severe flooding is around the Highway 90 and Eastgate areas ». This is also what we […]

The animation below shows the evolution of Thwaites glacier eastern ice shelf in West Antarctica, from July 2016 to May 2017. I made it with 45 quicklooks of Sentinel-1 radar images processed by the Alaska Satellite Facility and available via the vertex data portal. All images were acquired in interferometric wide swath mode (polarization HH, […]
As you probably know, PEPS is the French Collaborative ground segment for Copernicus Sentinel program. And, first of all, it is a mirror site that distributes all the Sentinel data in near real time. These last weeks, real time was not available for Sentinel-2, as the data format and structure of Sentinel-2 products had deeply […]
The giant ice avalanche that occurred in Tibet on 17 July 2016 and killed 9 people [1] urged scientists to scrutinize every available data to understand what caused such a glacier collapse. In doing so, they witnessed in near real time the ongoing collapse of a second glacier.
Short after working with Simon on the script for the article about the mapping of flooded areas, I wanted to be sure that our short script was realistic. I had some time to loose at the airport, so, after finding a wifi connection, I looked for pictures of the flooded areas of the north of […]
Dave Petley wrote a nice article in the AGU’s Landslide blog about a massive landslide in Glacier Bay, Alaska. This huge avalanche of debris was spotted by a local pilot Paul Swanstrom on June 28. When Paul was above it, « dust was still flying ». Later, based on earthquake records in Alaska, the experts figured out […]
