High resolution remote sensing data in eco-agro-hydrology: opportunities in the context of the CNES/ISRO TRISHNA mission
Name of the Speaker: Dr. Gilles Boulet
Title of the Seminar: High resolution remote sensing data in eco-agro-hydrology: opportunities in the context of the CNES/ISRO TRISHNA mission
Date and Time: 27 July 2023 (Thursday), 4:00pm
Online Platform: MS Teams (link to the video of the seminar)
About the Speaker: Dr. Gilles Boulet is an IRD Senior Scientist affiliated with the CESBIO lab in Toulouse (https://www.cesbio.cnrs.fr/) and currently deputed at the Indo-French Cell for Water Science at the Indian Institute of Science. He leads the Ecosystem Stress Group of the TRISHNA CNES/ISRO Thermal InfraRed mission proposal on the French side and is the PI of several research projects sponsored by the french space agency CNES as well as the french national funding body ANR to develop and evaluate evapotranspiration products based on remote sensing data. His interests lie in water fluxes and variables retrieval from TIR data, land surface modeling and Data Assimilation. He has more than 30 years of experience in field experiments and research developments designed for semi-arid water resources sustainable management and currently leads one of the two CESBIO research teams entitled “Modeling and remote sensing of land surface processes”. He is also the Secretary of the Remote Sensing commission of IAHS.
Abstract: In his talk, he will address what and how land surface water variables and fluxes can be retrieved from high resolution remote sensing data with current and future platforms such as TRISHNA, SBG or LSTM. This will be put in perspective with key questions such as the sustainable management of water resources at local an regional scales and the fire and drought risk assessment. He will bring also some concrete elements on the TRISHNA evapotranspiration and water stress products definition and algorithms, as well as the current and future corresponding cal/val activities.
