Pleiades satellite imagery offers a wide range of potential applications, particularly in the area of climate change impacts. Where to find these data, how to use them and how to make them talk?

Automating the use of satellite data means validating the results with field measurements. With this in mind, the OSS Saint Louis project team travelled to Senegal from 3 to 12 May 2022, taking advantage of the trip to promote the project to local stakeholders. From these fruitful exchanges, a common tool should emerge to pool knowledge of the Senegalese coastline and its vulnerability to climate change.
