EO4Wetlands, a further step towards satellite-guided depoldering monitoring
The Westerschelde estuary, where the port of Antwerp is located, is the scene of numerous activities, and since the break in the dyke, new ecological processes have been added to local activity. On the morning of Thursday 11 April 2024, on the border between Belgium and the Netherlands, teams from Cerema, the STOWA foundation and CNES put on their boots to visit the former Hedwige polder and the Saeftinghe wetland before leading a steering committee meeting with all the partners in the EO4Wetlands project. Here's a look back.

Water and coastal quality
While the availability of water is a challenge for the future, so is its quality. On Thursday 20 June 2024, at the thirteenth "SCO France Quarterly Meeting", three projects presented their SCOlutions, which use satellite data to automate the monitoring of different water surfaces. Serving both ecosystems and human activities, these magnificent projects are a real “coup de coeur”.

Gade Lapli: early warning for everyone
After 20 months of work under the SCO label, the Gade Lapli project has implemented an early warning system for extreme hydromete-orological events. The system uses satellites to monitor rainfall in real time and estimate the areas that could potentially be flooded. Developed in Haiti, the tool can be quickly and easily reproduced an-ywhere.

EDISON: air quality is a question of scale
Air pollutants, greenhouse gases: the compounds emitted into the atmosphere by human activities are as complex to understand as they are necessary to reduce. In a regulatory framework where responsibilities are fragmented, the EDISON project is developing a tool to help public policies improve air quality using satellite data.

IRRISAT: satellite data for water strategy
When water becomes scarce while demand increases, a wise resource management strategy is needed. In Morocco, thanks to the SCO label, the CRTS has been able to host the SAT'IRR platform to help optimize irrigation in near-real time, as a complement to its IRRISAT system. The two systems are based on satellite data, but their approach is different and complementary.
