The Tropisco projects build on methods developed in THEIA Forest Biomass and Cover Change SEC.
Agenda
Theia-AUB Summer School in Beirut has been a huge success. All presentation and teaching material are now on-line.
Incubating SEC
Theia Scientific Expertise Center ‘Changes and Health of Temperate Forests’ brings together engineers, researchers and stakeholders from the forestry sector, in order to develop and implement methods and tools based on remote sensing data to improve silvicultural and sylvo-sanitary monitoring and the sustainable management of temperate forests, in a context where the pressure factors on these ecosystems are increasingly more numerous in France, in Europe, and throughout the world.
Products
Mapping ice thicknesses based on glacial flow velocities for more than 200,000 glaciers on Earth.
Formations
A French Lebanese Summer School aiming to build capacity on Copernicus data and further academic relationships.
Publications
The SCO facilitators discuss the Space Climate Observatory project, through which several THEIA SECs and RANs projects have been labelled.
Publications
Discover the Biomass Carbon Monitor. Based on SMOS data, it provides a comparison tool for forest cover and carbon sequestration trends at global scale.
