Research paper thumbnail of An overview of the workshop on thermal remote sensing held at La Londe les Maures, France, September 20–24, 1993

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 1995

Research paper thumbnail of Evaluating forest fire hazard with a Landsat TM derived water stress index

The French Ministries of Environment, Interior and Agriculture are trying to implement efficient methods to prevent forest fires and to reduce their incidence. Fire risk is composed of human, ecological and climatic factors that are already accounted

Research paper thumbnail of Impacts of the Climate Variability on Human Activities

The GeoJournal Library, 1997

Research paper thumbnail of On the effectiveness of dry drainage in soil salinity control

Science in China Series E: Technological Sciences, 2009

If the potential adverse environmental impact is unac-ceptable or far outweighs the expected benefits, the arti-ficial drainage may be suspended or cancelled. ... But attention should be paid to the balance among dry drainage, arti-ficial drainage and land use. ...

Research paper thumbnail of Evaluation of the ERS 1/synthetic aperture radar capacity to estimate surface soil moisture: Two-year results over the Naizin watershed

To evaluate the capacity of ERS 1/synthetic aperture radar (SAR), a European Space Agency (ESA) pilot project has been set up. The test site is a small agricultural watershed situated in the central part of French Brittany. During 1992 and 1993, almost all possible
