This paper presents a machine learning based method to predict the forest structure parameters from L-band polarimetric and interferometric synthetic aperture radar (PolInSAR) data acquired by the airborne UAVSAR system over the Ré / serve Faunique des Laurentides in Qué / bec, Canada. The main objective of this paper is to show that re...
Worldwide, about 100 million tons of bitumen are used per year. Mainly from petroleum refining, although bitumen can exist in natural form, this material is used because of its unique combination of properties: adhesion, impermeability to water and specific thermo rheological behaviour. Due to petroleum dependency, the future of petroleum-based bit...
Hydroacoustics has become a requisite method to assess fish populations and allows to describe the relationships of fish with other elements of the aquatic ecosystem. This nonintrusive method is currently an integral part of the sampling procedures recommended for fish stock assessment by the Water Framework Directive and has been standardized by t...
The research and improvement of methods to be used for crop monitoring are currently major challenges, especially for radar images due to their speckle noise nature. The European Space Agency&rsquo / s (ESA) Sentinel-1 constellation provides synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images coverage with a 6-day revisit period at a high spatial resolution of p...
The rapid expansion of perennial crops is a major threat to biodiversity in Southeast Asia. The biodiversity losses related to the conversion of forest lands to oil palm or rubber plantations (RP) are well documented by recent studies. However, the impact of the conversion from intensively managed annual crops to perennial crops on soil biodiversit...

Environ un quart des émissions anthropogéniques de carbone sont stockées dans la végétation, mais la localisation spatiale de ces réservoirs de carbone est mal connue. Par ailleurs la dégradation forestière et la déforestation, en particulier dans les tropiques, contribuent à ces émissions anthropogéniques. Là encore l'évaluation des impacts de ces...
