Theia

Mission

THEIA, the land surface data and services hub of IR Data Terra, facilitates access to environmental data and federates scientific expertise on a national scale around five major themes: cryosphere, continental waters, land cover, agrosystems & biodiversity and imagery & radiometry.

4 objectives:

1. Developing and promoting the use of in situ, aerial and space data by all communities (scientists, academics and public players) for continental surfaces;
2. Developing value-added products and innovative processing services, distributing them in accordance with FAIR principles and promoting them;
3. Leading and federating a network of players (scientists, public players, private players) involved in monitoring and managing environmental issues on a local and global scale;
4. Participating in the scientific, methodological and technical training of communities.

3 key elements:

>> five Scientific Expertise Centres, networking laboratories in order to develop and propose innovative methods, and produce products and services based on in situ aerial and space data;

>> a Thematic Regional Network, bringing together all data users on a regional basis: scientists and users from the public and private sectors.
