Coming soon: 19th SCO France Quarterly Meeting

Published on 03/11/2025

Quality of night-time lighting, resilience to alternating drought and runoff, preservation of coastal biodiversity: very different topics, and yet... On Tuesday, 2 December 2025, log in to the 19th “SCO France Quarterly” to discover how three SCO projects are using satellite data to address these major challenges.

Human and climatic pressures are combining to threaten all ecosystems, on land, in the air and in the ocean.

Join us on Tuesday, 2 December 2025, from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. for the 19th SCO France Quarterly, featuring three SCO projects that use satellite data to mitigate pressures and preserve our environments.

The day's programme

ORENOS: Light pollution disrupts the functioning of ecosystems in the living world and contributes to energy waste. In this context, ORENOS is developing an indicator of the quality of artificial night-time lighting in the Haute-Savoie region (France) using satellite imagery. This indicator will enable local decision-makers to prioritize their actions for adapting, renovating or switching off lighting.
ATTEST: Despite their very different nature, the feedback loops between dry periods and heavy rainfall weaken the soil and amplify runoff. To help rural areas reduce the impact of these two hazards, ATTEST works to provide local decision-makers with ready-to-use prevention services, prioritizing areas for intervention on the one hand and preventive development measures on the other.
BioEOS: Did you know that species are disappearing at a rate 100 to 1,000 times higher than the natural rate? Coastal biodiversity is considered to be among the most vulnerable, so BioEOS is developing observation tools and innovative indicators to characterize its status and improve conservation measures. Its first demonstrator concerns the south-western Indian Ocean region.
