Sentinel-2 captured the plume of sediments from rivers Bahu Kalat (Iran) and Dasht (Pakistan) in the Gwadar Bay, located in the Gulf of Oman on the maritime border of Pakistan and Iran.

 

In false colors using the SWIR band of Sentinel-2, flooded areas around the Bahu Kalat river are well visible in turquoise blue.

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 […]

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).

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 […]
