  • Pleiades satellite image of the Baie des Veys in Normandy.
    EO4InterTopo

    EO4InterTopo automates intertidal topographic mapping

    Coastal areas need accurate data to preserve their intertidal zones. With the aim for automatic intertidal mapping, the EO4InterTopo project is implementing a methodology combining different satellite data. The first milestone is on track to be a great success!

  • Flooding and heat islands both have harmful consequences and increase inequalities.
    Quarterly subscription 15

    Coming soon: the 15th SCO France Quarterly Meeting

    From flooding to heat islands, cities are on the front line of the effects of climate change. On Thursday 12 December 2024, tune in to the fifteenth "SCO France Quarterly" to find out how VHR satellite data can help cities reduce their vulnerability to these phenomena, which are undoubtedly intensifying.

    The SCO at IAC 2024: plenary session, 14th Steering committee and awards

    Every year, the SCO has a strong presence at the IAC. It is the preferred venue for holding one of its two annual steering committees and welcoming new members, and the alliance now has 50 signatories. The 2024 edition is also marked by a plenary session devoted entirely to SCO and the presentation of the Eurisy Hubert Curien Prize. Here's a look back at these three highlights.

    The SCO receives the 2024 Hubert Curien Award

    What a source of pride! On Wednesday 16 October 2024, the SCO was awarded the Eurisy Hubert Curien Award, which "rewards outstanding efforts to help society benefit from space". We would like to thank Eurisy and share this international recognition with our entire community.

  • TropiSCO provides monthly and annual statistics for each zone or point selected, enabling very fine-scale zooming.
    TropiSCO

    TropiSCO covers Thailand

    With a system that is operational, global, open to all and based on radar satellite data (Sentinel-1), TropiSCO is an emblematic SCO project. Since 10 September 2024, the platform has made it possible to monitor deforestation in Thailand in near-real time.

  • Online, CORISCLIM simulates marine submersions and the associated impacts.
    Littoscope

    Littoscope goes to scale with Corisclim

    Spatial altimetry enables us to measure precisely the rise in sea levels, which is accelerating. The extent of this rise varies from place to place, and coastal communities need tools to project their future into the coming decades. As the successor to the SCO LITTOSCOPE project, CORISCLIM offers a rapid assessment of future coastal flood risks worldwide.

  • Vegetation plays a major role in urban air quality.
    14th Quarterly Meeting

    Monitoring air quality from space

    Air quality is a public health issue. Satellite data can help enrich atmospheric emission inventories and define action plans to improve air quality. This is demonstrated by three SCOlutions presented on Thursday 12 September 2024 at the fourteenth SCO France Quarterly Meeting.

  • Generation, distribution and promotion of satellite products, strong interaction with local users and replicability, Littosat is fully in line with the SCO DNA.
    Littosat

    Littosat is fully operational and can be transposed to coastal monitoring

    For managers of coastal areas and marine protected areas, Littosat has developed a dashboard for real-time monitoring of coastal vegetation, fed by new data from satellite images. With 2 demonstrators already online, the system is designed to be replicable and provide customized services.
