Applications Toolbox
Below are the tools developed and delivered by the SCO projects.
Supporting the transformation of rural areas
The fruit of the Meo-Climate project, MEOSS offers 3 web mapping interfaces:
- AgriPractice, whose indicators help decision-makers to implement measures to adapt to agricultural soil erosion;
- WaterReserve, which centralises a panel of indicators dedicated to intra- and inter-annual monitoring of water surfaces;
- Meo-GreenEnergy, a tool for detecting and optimising the siting of photovoltaic panels.

Satellite surface soil moisture
Developed in Brittany, where geology makes water supply dependent on surface water, BOSCO lays the foundations for a spatial observatory of soil water content.
The interface displays three key pieces of information at very high spatial resolution (plot) and temporal resolution (2-3 days), which are crucial for farmers and water managers: surface moisture (first 5 cm of soil), root water content (one metre deep) and recharge (or water flow) towards the water table.

Preserving the bocage network
Hedgerows are excellent levers for the resilience of territories to climate change and for maintaining biodiversity. EagleHedges has developed operational tools for monitoring and characterizing the bocage network using Earth observation images and very high-resolution 3D models, in order to make up for the lack of reliable, recurring data on the state of the French bocage. The project team is working to extend the tool to other territories and, as new needs arise, to extend its functionalities.
🟢 HedgeTools, the hedge characterization tool, is available as an open-source QGIS plugin.
🔵 Automatic hedge detection service available on request.
