Research into depolderisation in Ile Nouvelle : GEO-Transfert is working with EPOC to research the subjects of sedimentary dynamics and the spread of vegetation cover by remote detection from space.
 

Two projects of coastal dune mapping (DDUST) and nearshore bathymetry (BALIST) are being funded by the Aquitaine Regional Council from 2012 within the framework of the European APSAT Project - "Public Action, satellite technology and sustainable development" (INTERREG IVb SUDOE).

 

GEO-Transfert and UMR EPOC are senior partners in the Aquitaine project entitled INFOLITTORAL-1. Instigated by the global competitiveness center Aerospace Valley, INFOLITTORAL-1 was one of the four Center projects funded under FUI 9. GEO-Transfert is extending its experience in remote coastal surveillance through this project. Coordinated by SPOT Image, the project will develop and enhance the relevant skills in Aquitaine. It will lead to the creation of commercial services for monitoring the coastline (information leaflet).
