Germany’s Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG) will continue to manage production of pan-European datasets after signing a new agreement with EuroGeographics. As a result, BKG is responsible for three open datasets available via the Open Maps For Europe (OME) user interface, as well as a database of administrative boundaries and 1:250 000 topographic ...

The water cycle looks simple in theory—but human impacts, climate change, and complicated geography mean that in practice, floods and droughts remain hard to predict. To model water on Earth, you need incredibly high-resolution data across an immense expanse, and you need modeling sophisticated enough to account for everything from snowcaps on mountains to soil ...

Dès les données thermographiques récoltées et traitées, la volonté est de pouvoir proposer (gratuitement) aux citoyens les informations utiles permettant d’entreprendre des travaux d’isolation. Les communes concernées tout comme la province du Brabant wallon, peuvent aussi profiter de ces relevés pour améliorer la performance énergétique des bâtiments publics. Reste deux questions qui suscitent d’ailleurs de ...

A consortium under the lead of VITO officially launched the new Horizon Europe project EvoLand in Leuven (Belgium). EvoLand will develop and test new and innovative methods and algorithms and implement a bundle of candidate Copernicus Land Monitoring Service prototypes. This will be realised by integrating novel EO and in-situ data with the latest Machine ...

On connaît l’importance des écosystèmes forestiers pour séquestrer le carbone et lutter contre le dérèglement climatique. Mais la quantité de dioxyde de carbone que les arbres peuvent absorber reste difficile à évaluer de manière précise, ce qui entrave l’efficacité de mesures concrètes visant à limiter le réchauffement de la planète. Des chercheurs de l’université de ...
