Recent years have witnessed a substantial decline of both managed and wild bees in Europe due to the increase of pesticides use. Hence, many European agricultural systems depend on the buy/rental of managed bees in order to maintain sufficient levels of pollination services. However, this substitution of wild bees by managed ones apart from costly ...
The preservation of natural resources via the management of diffuse pollution is currently considered to be a significant challenge in France. Pollution reduction policies are notably based on the identification of vulnerable areas. In this context, our work aims to develop a method for characterizing the surface water vulnerability to phytosanitar...
In the context of monitoring and assessment of water consumption in the agricultural sector, the objective of this study is to build an operational approach capable of detecting irrigation events at plot scale in a near real-time scenario using Sentinel-1 (S1) data. The proposed approach is a decision tree-based method relying on the change detecti...
Le littoral constitue une zone critique particulièrement sensible à l’action anthropique. L’ONERA développe des compétences spécifiques en télédétection optique pour caractériser et suivre l’évolution de l’activité humaine. Les applications de ces travaux concernent principalement deux aspects : la pollution marine et le développement de moyens sou...
In this work we introduce and evaluate a deep learning model, mbCNN, that combines together satellite imagery and Volunteer Geographical Information (VGI) data to deal with different types of built-up surfaces. Differently from most of the previous works that only consider Urban/Non-Urban settings involving only one urban LULC class, here, we inves...
Ce papier est issue d'un travail d'enquête ethnographique original mené en 2016 et 2017 auprès des viticulteurs de l'Hérault (projet TRAJECTOIRES / ECOPHYTO 2016-2018). Notre nous appuyons sur le matériau empirique recueilli (entretiens semi-directifs) pour questionner les relations entre histoires personnelles, perceptions des risques et choix de ...

Faced with health, environmental, and socio-economic issues related to the heavy use of pesticides, diffuse phytosanitary pollution becomes a major concern shared by all the field actors. These actors, namely the farmers and territorial managers, have expressed the need to implement decision support tools for the territorial management of diffuse p...
Le service public local connait des évolutions sous l’effet de la décentralisation. Les compétences et les conditions de sa mise en oeuvre impactent les besoins des employeurs publics et modifient l’activité des Centres de Gestion. Ces établissements publics administratifs spécialisés sont amenés à travailler ensemble à travers la Charte Régionale ...
The installation of tilting-angle solar panels above agricultural plots provides renewable energy and means of action to dampen some of the effects and hazards of climate change. When the panels are properly operated, their drop shadow reduces water consumption by the plants, as a consequence of alternating shade and sun bands with a short-term imp...
