Just back from Living Planet Symposium

I had the opportunity to participate to the ESA Living Planet Symposium, in Edinburgh, last week, together with 1800 other remote sensing data user, mostly from Europe. It is incredible to see that after more than 20 years in this domain, I know less than 10% of the audience !There were 10 parallel sessions each day, and in the biggest room, 2 sessions were organised for each Sentinel mission, and these sessions have been filmed. These films are on the web, accessible from this page. As a reader of this blog, you might be interested by the sessions about Sentinel-2, available here :

  • Sentinel-2 mission, to have a complete update about the mission and its ground segment (official launch dates : 09/2014 (S2-A) and 09/2015 (S2-B)).
  • Sentinel-2 potential applications and services, in which I presented the SPOT(Take5) experiment (the third presentation, from 46′ to 1h06′). Please be lenient, I was a little nervous in front of 150-200 people !

I also wrote (quickly) a seven page paper about the SPOT4 (Take5) experiment.

Dates de fauche en France

En 2024, des collègues du Cesbio ont publié un article* sur la cartographie de la date de fauche en France en 2022 à partir des données satellitaires Sentinel-2.   Leur magnifique figure 10 a attiré mon attention. La version à haute résolution fournie avec l’article (2861 × 2911 pixels) correspond à une image dont les pixels font […]

Évolution du jour de déneigement dans les Alpes françaises et les Pyrénées

Les socio-écosystèmes des Alpes et des Pyrénées dépendent étroitement des fluctuations annuelles du manteau neigeux. En particulier, le moment de l’année où la neige disparait détermine le début de la saison de croissance de la végétation de montagne et donc la période des estives. Le changement climatique est en train de bouleverser ce rythme saisonnier. […]
