Themes

Algorithms & Processings

Several SECs are developing research and cross-functional products that can be used to address the issues raised by different themes.

Mapping urban morphology, surface artificialisation, agricultural space consumption or vegetation… to help cities adapt to challenges and threats.

Developing tools adapted to the entire crisis management cycle: vulnerability analysis, hazard mapping, rehabilitation and long-term prevention.

Understanding and documenting the evolution of often poorly accessible but central environments in global equilibria.

Monitoring and quantifying the evolution of coastlines to contribute to the numerical and physical modelling of their future.

Assessing forest resources, characterizing changes in cover and vegetation to manage environmental risks

Develop robust tools for studying the water cycle, adapted to users’ needs.

Developing interpretation and monitoring tools for the understanding and the conservation of natural environments.

Monitoring crops and biophysical variables, mapping land cover and farming practices for sustainable agriculture.
