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.

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 […]

Le chaînon manquant dans la valorisation des travaux de recherche en télédétection

=> Mes collègues du CESBIO sont très créatifs ! 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). Et bien souvent, ils ne s’arrêtent pas à la mise au point de la méthode […]

Sentinel-2 overtakes Landsat in scientific litterature

OpenAlex is a new, yet already very useful, open database for exploring scientific literature. 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 […]
