Just back from Living Planet Symposium

In English Sentinel-2 SPOT4 (Take 5)

Olivier Hagolle, 18 septembre 2013

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.

Tracking the sediment plume of the 29 October 2026 GLOF in Bhutan

A glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) occurred on 29 Oct in northern Bhutan, creating a debris flow in the Mo Chhu valley, Gasa district. The exact cause of the GLOF is still unclear but we know that it originates from Sintaphu Tsho, a moraine-dammed lake at an elevation of about 4500 m. This event has […]

Adjacency effects, or how pixels from the entire region can skew your measurements

=> Neighborhood issues also exist in Earth observation. And in a sense, they are even much more serious than on a social level, since neighbors located more than 30 km away can cause interference! Fortunately, we have the means to correct these problems without resorting to law enforcement—just using algorithms. This entire article is based […]

=> Les problèmes de voisinage existent aussi en observation de la terre. Et en un sens, ils sont même beaucoup plus graves que sur le plan social, puisque vos voisins situés à plus de 30 km peuvent pour perturber !
