What do oceans, mountains and the atmosphere have in common? Earth observation satellites, of course! From their privileged position, generally between 500 and 600 km above our heads, their sensors take the pulse of all the components of our planet. On Thursday June 19, 2025, log on to the 17th"Trimestrielle du SCO France" to find out how 3 SCO projects are using this data in different environments.

As extreme climatic events intensify, observation and modeling tools are becoming essential levers for anticipating and managing risks. With very promising initial results, the Pléiades4UrbanFlood project explores the potential of high-resolution Pléiades monoscopic imagery to produce an initial assessment of the vulnerability of an urban environment to flooding.
