VOQUALISE

VOQUALISE, mission report from Upper Casamance

In the mild heat of Casamance, water is already a major concern: will there be enough water tomorrow to support growing agricultural needs? To help local stakeholders meet this challenge, the SCO VOQUALISE project is working to assess, via satellite, the quantitative and qualitative status of lakes and reservoirs in Upper Casamance.

21st Quarterly

Coming soon: 21th SCO France Quarterly Meeting

Exacerbated by global warming, air pollution is a major environmental health issue that affects everyone, in every country. In the face of this complex and invisible pollution, satellites are set to play a key role. A demonstration will take place on Thursday 18 June 2026, featuring three SCO projects at the 21st ‘SCO France Quarterly Meeting’.

FLORIA

FLORIA, or how to read the air we breathe

Summer will soon be upon us, and with it, that strange sensation that the air is becoming heavier. In the city, the heat doesn’t just bear down on the streets; it also traps what we breathe. Fine particles, invisible pollution, extreme weather conditions: how can we observe these phenomena on a large scale? This is where the story of FLORIA begins, now an operational service capable of producing maps of PM10 concentrations across Europe.

XtremQuality

XtremQuality: monitoring the 90% of freshwater that nobody looks at

From now on, instead of focusing solely on the 100 largest lakes, let’s also look at the 100,000 smallest ones, which account for 90% of all reservoirs. This is the power of XtremQuality, a key tool for the future: what was previously overlooked becomes measurable, what was scattered becomes structured and, ultimately, what was a blind spot becomes a lever for action. A must-see.

ORENOS

ORENOS to reduce light pollution

Energy-intensive, night-time lighting also has a devastating impact on biodiversity. To meet new guidelines aimed at energy efficiency and environmental protection, local authorities need tools to guide the strategies they implement. The SCO ORENOS project is working on their behalf.
