Identify and visualize agricultural wasteland

The Izifriche solution is a comprehensive support service for the identification and visualization of agricultural wasteland, aimed at local players wishing to act for the resilience of their territory.

Developed as part of the SCO FrichesAgricoles project, the method for automated identification of wasteland is based on the use of geographical and satellite data analyzed by the WaSaBI ©CNES software's Artificial Intelligence, at the scale of the entire Occitanie region (France). The parcel data from the regional inventory of wasteland is used in a web interface equipped with numerous geographic databases, providing a global vision of the issues at stake at different territorial scales (commune, inter-commune, département).

🔵 Service marketed by Safer Occitanie from June 2024.

Estimating coastal flooding

Created by CLS to help coastal areas reduce their vulnerability to rising sea levels, the interactive LITTOSCOPE interface allows users to visualise several scenarios of rising sea levels, with or without a ten-year storm.

The tool also offers an assessment of the impacts (human, economic, heritage, environmental) generated.

🔵 A commercial service, access to Littoscope requires an account and password.

Forecasting cyclonic coastal flooding

Tested in the Bengal delta, the Band-SOS demonstrator is a pre-operational service for a coastal flood forecasting platform based on multispectral satellite images (Copernicus Sentinel-2). In operation since January 2023, the tool is used daily by the Bangladesh Flood Forecasting and Warning Center (FFWC).

Band-SOS provides a real-time forecast of the risk of flooding when a tropical cyclone strikes the coastline, coupled with a map of the vulnerability of populations at risk.

Assessing the vulnerability of coastal populations and economic activities

Developed for the city of St Louis in Senegal and replicable for other coastal areas, the SCO St Louis interface combines all types of data to estimate the socio-economic vulnerability of coastal cities to the effects of climate change and raise awareness among local players.

The mapping platform can be used to select and combine several layers of information, including historical floods, land use and essential infrastructure, as well as simulations of marine and river flooding according to different IPCC scenarios.

Improving resilience to extreme hydro-meteorological events

Developed as part of the FLAude project, FORO uses satellite observation to improve the resilience of areas to the risks of flooding caused by intense run-off.

A genuine decision-making tool, FORO offers interactive maps to pinpoint problem areas and the levers for action. FORO is gradually being rolled out across the 23 departments of the Mediterranean Arc.
