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:
- Developing and promoting the use of in situ, aerial and space data by all communities (scientists, academics and public players) for continental surfaces;
- Developing value-added products and innovative processing services, distributing them in accordance with FAIR principles and promoting them;
- 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;
- Participating in the scientific, methodological and technical training of communities.
>> distributed processing capabilities at mainland France level, structured into four (Observation) Data and Services Centres – Toulouse, Montpellier, Strasbourg and Grenoble -, offering access to a wide range of data, products and services;
>> 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.
