On Feb 16, Pléiades captured such installation on the parking of the New Hatay Stadium near Antakya. I count about 400 tents in this picture. […]

Kyrgyzstan glacier collapse. New Pléiades and SPOT7 images tell us more…

Because the first images were partly cloudy, the Pléiades 1A and 1B satellites (CNES/Airbus) continued to acquire images over Kyrgyzstan and a cloud-free 0.7-m stereoscopic pair was acquired 16 July 2022. We could also obtain a 1.5 m SPOT7 stereoscopic pair from the Airbus DS archive thanks to the Dinamis initiative. The latter was taken […]

Estimation of Marmolada glacier collapse volume using Pléiades imagery

The deadly Marmolada glacier collapse happened on 3 July 2022. On 6 July 2022, Pléiades 1B (CNES, Airbus DS)  acquired a clear-sky stereo pair of the area. From these images we could estimate a detached volume of ice of 65’000 ± 10’000 cubic meters. First, we generated a digital elevation model (DEM) from Pléiades stereo […]

A new feature in the EO Browser enables to plot the evolution of the mean NDVI within a polygon. I drew a rough polygon of Saint Barthélemy to check […]
